I have a 2110 SAT score and would like to know which colleges are within my reach.

College Search & Selection
1

I gave my first attempt in June this year and got 1880 (CR: 640; Maths: 690; Writing: 550). In November, I gave my second attempt and got 2110 (CR: 640; Maths: 720; Writing: 750).
Also,
SAT II, Maths 2 - 750
SAT II, Chem - 740

I have good extra curricular activities. Not a lot but sufficient.

So, do I still have a shot at UC Berkeley and LA?
And what are other universities I can apply to?

What is your UC GPA?
What can you afford? Have you checked the NPC at the UC’s you are applying to?

Search for pages like this one:
http://www.aim.ucla.edu/profiles/cds.aspx#cdsC
(Google: [school name] + “Common Data Set”)

Then match your stats against the listed score distributions
(shown in section C9 of each school’s Common Data Set)

Your SAT-M and SAT-CR do fall within UCLA’s median bands (25th - 75th percentiles) for this year’s incoming freshmen. That’s a good sign.

However, the averages for next year’s admitted Indian applicants may be higher or lower than the overall 2015 averages. So you may want to apply to some colleges where your stats fall above the medians. If you like big public universities such as Berkeley and UCLA, there are many less selective alternatives in California or other western states. The University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and the University of Colorado are 3 examples. Any other schools in the University of California system also would be less selective than Berkeley or UCLA.

Interesting list. All great schools. But off the top of my head, Rice and Dartmouth seem like serious reaches. Maybe also Hamilton, Georgetown and Vassar.
