<p>your extracurriculars are really slim...the only things you have are flute and volunteering. you're going to need a lot more involvement to get into all those tough schools.</p>

<p>Do you got a citizenship? Green card?</p>

<p>GPA is great, courseload is super tough, test scores are excellent, but ECs are a bit light. Still girls with excellent test scores in the sciences are at a premium at a couple of these schools, so:</p>

<p>MIT--slight reach to reach (needs women)
Cornell (my fav) -CALS--slight reach
JHU--slight reach
UPenn -BBB--match to slight reach
Harvey Mudd -Biology+Math major--slight reach to reach
Carnegie Mellon -Mellon College of Science--match
UCSD- Biology Major--match (OOS)
UWM--match</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
