<p>Matches will probably be around UCLA and USC etc. You should be in UCSD no problem because you’re in state. You have a nice GPA and good ECs, so you should be aiming for schools like the ones i mentioned above, and apply to a few ivies too just for the heck of it (you’re a good enough candidate to be considered at least)</p>

<p>Schools to Consider:</p>

<p>It’s difficult to recommend schools with only these statistics. You are competitive enough for just about every school in the US.</p>

<p>However, it is your responsibility to figure out what you want from college and what type of college best suits you. That’s what summer research is for!</p>
