Safety, match, or reach?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hey guys, could you please help me classify the following ten schools as safety, match, or reach?
GPA: 3.97 UW (up to end of junior year). Grades this year are straight As so far, but don’t factor into my GPA.
ACT: 35
SAT II: Math II - 800, Chemistry - 790, Physics - 790

AP Scores:
Calc BC, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Chemistry, Language and Composition, Statistics (5)
Currently taking Computer Science A and Physics C
ECs:
4 years varsity XC
4 years varsity track
3 years forensics team
2 years working at a food shelter
1.5 years NHS (joined middle of junior year)
1600+ hours on one other EC, cannot list at the moment because trying to get some legal work done with regards to it.
(I know the sheer number of ECs is quite weak, but have spent a ton of time and dedicated myself to a few specific ones which I’m passionate about, so when chancing me, please assume that the ECs aren’t weak - I will talk about them a lot in my essays)

Schools:
Princeton SCEA
UChicago
Columbia
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
Washington University in St. Louis
UC Berkeley
UCLA
NYU
Rice

I’m an international applicant, by the way, so I understand my chances will be harder. I also understand that most of these universities are extremely competitive regardless of GPA/ACT/ECs.

I want to major in math, so please suggest some more good match/safety schools, if my list does not have a good spread.
Thanks a lot!

Calculate your UC GPA for UCLA/UCB and include UW UC GPA, Weighted Capped UC GPA and Fully Weighted UC GPA.
https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Your test scores are very competitive. Are you able to afford full price at $55K/year to attend?

3

UW: 4.00
Weighted Capped: 4.29
Fully weighted: 4.43

I can afford the tuition for all the listed schools, if I am accepted.

4

You are a very competitive applicant for UCB and UCLA based on your stats so I would say a Match. Good Luck.

5

These schools appear (as do UChicago and Rice) in a Princeton Review sampling, “Great Schools for Mathematics Majors,” and would correspond to the selectivity range you have already selected:

Caltech
Harvard
MIT
Bowdoin
Hamilton
Harvey Mudd
Carleton
Haverford
Grinnell
Reed
Macalester
URochester

If you have a least favorite school(s) from within your excellent group of colleges, then you might want to replace it with one(s) from above.

This statistically-based list will help you roughly order your by choices by selectivity:

A good match school would be Georgia Tech. Some good safeties would Rutgers, Purdue and Catholic University.

7

You have no safeties.

8

Yeah I understand. Could you help me classify the schools I have listed as low/high match, low/high reach? I am looking for safeties.

9

Are you more interested as of now in pure or applied math?

10

I think they are all reaches although NYU Arts and Sciences is probably a low reach or a match.

11

You would be more than 5 points over the ACT mean at UCLA. By ordinary standards (when combined with a top GPA), this would indicate a safety. School-specific factors, as well as other general statistical factors, could apply, however.

12

Have you yet to complete multivariable calculus/linear algebra?
