<p>Thanks for replying everyone!</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus: I live in CA.</p>
<p>It’s my fault for asking “which of these are safeties, matches, and reaches”; my list of aforementioned colleges intentionally contained reach schools as a majority as I wanted to know if I would be a competitive applicant for them or not. In that regard, I do have safety and match colleges I am interested in, and they include but at the moment are not limited to UT Austin, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, U. Michigan - Ann Arbor, NYU, Furman, Stony Brook, Grinnell, UIUC, U. Rochester, Boston University, Purdue, and Reed among others. </p>
<p>I should have also stated that I am currently a sophomore (a lot of my stats are predicted). My “interest list” of colleges is currently based on their outstanding math and science programs, and I thus have yet to discern most of them by any other factor.</p>
