<p>I think it is a very good, balanced list. You have impressive credentials, but you understand that your top choices are reaches for everyone. I’d say that you have a shot at your reaches, and will probably get into at least one of them. Am I correct in guessing that you are a CA resident? If so, then I’d say that you should get into almost every UC, with scholarships likely, but I know that some of the Bioengineering programs are fiercely competitive. I agree with your classifications.</p>

<p>Are you going to apply to all the colleges you listed because I personally would narrow the list down to about 6-9. However, you’re a really strong applicant (10 AP’s and IB Diploma Program look amazing + high SAT scores)</p>

<p>John Hopkins, Dartmouth, U Penn= You should have a great chance at all of these schools, but just be aware that basically everyone is a reach at these schools because they admit so few people (personally I think you’ll definitely get into at least one of them, probably two)
Carnegie Mellon= High Reach to Reach
Cornell= Reach to Low Reach (have to say because its an Ivy League, but in reality you should get in)</p>

<p>Rensselaer, Univ of Michigan, Colgate, NYU, Univ of Virginia= Low reach to match (probably won’t get into one of them, but you’re still well qualified to)</p>

<p>UCLA, UC Berkley= Tough to get into, but most likely will get in if CA resident (low reach to match)
USC, UCSD, UCI, UCR, UC Davis= Matches if you’re a CA resident
Case Western, Oberlin, Brandeis, Rochester= Easy Matches (all are probably more like safeties for you)</p>
