okay so basically you are similar to me!
same SAT score, same ethnicity, same interests (international relations/finance)..

so it's kinda weird for me to give you advice.. Junior (Class of '09) Going to Apply this Fall

your GPA isn't so hot but your course load looks exemplary. i understand that you have done these extracurriculars for many years but stick to ones that you are more passionate about.. the only problem i see is that, well, i don't see anything unique.. try to find out who you are and your chances will increase drastically..

as for safeties, Berkeley is safe for me since i'm in state but it might be a little tougher for you if you are out.. sorry i don't know much about public schools outside of CA

good luck though!
