<p>I'm currently a junior thinking of going premed. I've started my college search for a while, and I think this is fairly close to my final list. Is this too bold (ie too many reaches), too lax, or just right? Here is my list and chances. If you can rate it from either 1-10 (10 being great list) and feel free to make changes or suggest others.</p>
<p>(stats)
demographics:
*I am an Asian Indian Male (most likely won't help)
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon: Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school. (being from oregon isn't going to help either)
*student body at school = 500+</p>

*Mathfest Algebra 2 1st place freshman year
*Oregon Invitational of Mathematics Tournament Participant Fresh Year
*Mathfest Participant (will have 4 years)
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 150-175 volunteer hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*Right now I get about a 1920-2050 on the SAT, 28-30 on ACT according to Practice Tests for SAT, and the PLAN (it's like the PSAT for SAT except the ACT version) on ACT, but I'm shooting for at least a 2100 on the SAT and 32 on the ACT. Don't count on me getting a 2100 or a 32 because its not going to happen as far as I can tell right now</p>

3. University of Washington (OOS) (match to safe match)
4. University of Texas-Austin (to natural sciences) (match to high match) (OOS)
5. Oregon State University (instate) (safety)
6. USC (high reach)
7. (can you help me think of a match to high match?)
8. (can you help me think of a match?)</p>
