<p>Please suggest Match and Reach colleges for me!</p>
<p>Here are my current stats (I'm a junior right now).
I want to go into Investment Banking.</p>

<p>BASICS:
Chinese American male
Currently a junior
California resident
Middle - Upper Middle class (anywhere from $60k-120k income bracket)</p>
<p>Might have decent recs from teachers. I will try to play the role of a studious idiot who works extremely hard, but struggles in a class. Hopefully, it will convince my senior year teachers to write a decent rec for me. Junior year teachers have caught me sleeping in class too much. Shameful, I know.</p>
<p>My essays should not be too bad.</p>
<p>GPAs:
Freshman year: 4.0 UW
Sophomore year: 4.0 UW, 4.5 W
Junior year: 4.0 UW, 4.333 W
Cumulative (10-11): 4.0 UW, 4.42W
School only gives A,B,C,D,F. No pluses or minusess.
School doesn't rank, but I'm easily in the top 5% out of 450.
The school's somewhat competitive. We had 6 people get into Stanford this year; a dozen or so more got into MIT, Harvard, etc.; at least 30 in Ivy leagues and at least 60 in Berkeley.</p>
<p>Not the most rigorous curriculum available at competitive public school.
Our school has only Chemistry,Precalculus, Japanese, Spanish, and French as honors classes. Currently taking AP Biology and AP Calc BC. Not taking APUSH. I plan for 3 APs and 1 honors for senior year.</p>

<p>What are my chances despite my mediocre ECs?
Would getting a job at Kumon this summer help?
Should I take Lit SAT if I can not guarantee 800, but 780+?</p>
