<p>Hi everyone, just signed up on these forums, and am looking for some advice. </p>

<p>The colleges I'm particularly interested in are:
- Stanford (this would be my dream school! ^^)
- Caltech
- UC Berkeley
- UCLA
- USC</p>

<p>I'm a male Asian-American, which I've read somewhere that this would put me in somewhat of a disadvantage? =[ </p>

<p>GPA: 3.92 unweighted
4.65 weighted</p>

<p>SAT: first time - 2180
second time - 2400</p>

<p>SATII: Math IIC:790
Biology:780
Physics: [will take in october, and i'm going for an 800 ^^)</p>

<p>APs: Calculus BC - 5
English Language - 5
US History - 5
Biology - 5
Physics - 4</p>

<p>My MAIN Extra-curriculars:
- Symphony Orchestra
- Math Team (2 years)
- Constitution Team (1 year, senior-only team)
- summer research at USC (05')
- summer internship at City of Hope cancer research center (06')
- volunteering at local hospital (150-ish hours) </p>

<p>I've listed the core info, I think? I'd greatly appreciate any advice! And if possible, please list colleges that would be a good match for me, as well as some safeties. I'm going to be a pre-med student, for sure. Thanks!</p>

UCLA- safety
USC- super safety</p>

<p>by the way, being asian will put you at a slight disadvantage for Stanford/Caltech, but it doesnt matter for UCs</p>
