<p>Hi everyone, so I really can't decide on what level of schools I should go for and I've gotten a ton of different answers, so I really need some help. If you guys could just tell me what kinda schools would be matches/reaches/safeties would be that would be great. I just need a general idea (i.e. less then 20% acceptance rate=reach schools). Here are my stats: </p>
<p>Also, I am applying EA to santa clara and Boston College? Could you guys chance me for those schools too? </p>
<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>CONDENSED TRANSCRIPT:
9th grade-somewhat rigorous but one B first semester (english honors).
10th grade-more rigorous and straight A's
11th grade-as rigorous or maybe even more rigorous then the low level ivy leaguers at my school (1 B second semester in pre calc honors)
12th grade-top 5 most rigorous at my school (not exaggerating, I'm overwhelmed). :(</p>
