<p>I've been browsing CC for users with comparable stats and looking to see what their safety/low match schools are for my own reference, but I haven't been able to find a school(s) that I would be happy with. If anyone could suggest some safety and/or low match schools for me, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>My Stats:
GPA = 4.0 UW/4.3 W
ACT = 35 Composite (35 English, 33 Math, 35 Reading, 36 Science, 8 Essay)
SAT = 2120 (750 Writing, 720 Reading, 650 Math)
SAT II = 690 Math 2, 700 Chemistry, 720 US History
Rank = top 1% (summer college classes not in GPA yet, one of top 3/350, probably 1)
AP Classes/Scores = AP World History (5), APUSH (4), AP English Language (5), AP Chemistry (4), will take AP English Literature, AP Biology, AP US Government, AP Macroeconomics, AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>ECs:
Varsity Tennis (9, 10, 11, 12) - Captain 10, possible Captain 12
Women's Chorus (10, 11) - Award-winning 11
Chamber Choir (11, 12) - Award-winning 11, paid performances
Combined Concert Choir (11) - Award-winning 11
Sports Medicine Club (11, 12)
Science Club (10, 11, 12) - Vice President 11, Secretary 12
Hospital Volunteer (summer before 11)
Sound Technician for Community Play (9)
Actor in Community Play (10)</p>
<p>Preferences:
I would prefer schools in the East or West in non-landlocked states (not the Midwest). I have considered University of Alabama due to their full-tuition scholarship, which I would be eligible for, but do not love the idea of being in the South. Preferably, these schools would offer some sort of merit-based aid. I do not want to go to a religious school. </p>
<p>Other Notes:
I am applying to (reach/match/safety based on my information, estimates from websites, the school's stats, and past experiences with decisions on other applicants with comparable qualifications)
Stanford (high reach)
Harvard (high reach)
Pomona (reach)
Washington and Lee (low reach)
USC (match)
UC Berkeley (high match)
UC Santa Barbara (low match)
UC Davis (match)
Johns Hopkins (mid/high match)
Lehigh or Swarthmore (haven't decided, either match or reach)
Sonoma State (major safety)
I live in California, if that makes a difference.
I am a white female.</p>
<p>Thank You!</p>
