Thanks Everyone! If you want, please chance me to other colleges you think are fit!

Your stats are good and your ECs are great, especially the Caltech one. I think you have good chances of getting into most of the schools on this list. USC, UCB, UCLA, and NYU Stern are the hardest. I think you have a relatively competitive application though so write good essays and apply

@doorrealthe thx for the advice!
