What do you consider top schools?

UC’s and CSU’s do not consider race/ethnicity in their admission decisions. Are you are recruited athlete?

You have some great EC’s, competitive GPA and if you get your SAT score in the 1400+ range, you will have several UC’s to consider.

UCB: 10%
UCLA: 9%
UCSD: 34%
UCSB: 38%
UCD: 41%
UCI: 38%
UCSC: 70%
UCR: 84%
UCM: 95%

Besides admissions, have you talked to your parents about what they will contribute for your college costs and run the net price calculators on the web sites of colleges of interest?
