<p>Well, assuming that your SATs are over 2000 and you keep everything up, you’ll have no problem getting into the second tier UCs. If your SATs are over 2200, you should be able to get into UCB and UCLA as well…but that’s also assuming that your personal statement is amazing.</p>

<p>I’d say go for it for Stanford, if that’s your dream school. Everyone needs reaches. Pretty much all the schools you’ve listed are hard to get into though…try shortening the list for reaches by senior year. You should have three reaches at the most, four if you must, though that could be pushing it. Then around three or four matches and safeties.</p>

<p>Everything looks pretty good so far, so keep it up!</p>
