I currently attend Troy High School, CA, an extremely rigorous and competitive STEM and a semi-magnet school that attracts people from seven or eight counties. Our Tech/IB/AP program is compatible to those of Whitney, Oxford, and Uni. High, which are some of the top schools in the nation.
My Stats:

Awards/Mentionables:
-California Scholarship Federation (4 years)
-Honor Roll (4 years)
-Homecoming King (added, just because? haha)

Extra Curriculars:
-Freshman year President (9th grade)

Thank you so much for your response. Really appreciate it. But like I said before, my public high school is EXTREMELY rigorous so that's why my GPA may not be AS high.
Will Chance Back!

Syracuse: Match
BU: Low match
AU: Low match
Boston College: Low reach
Not familiar with the rest of the schools. I like to see Syracuse on your list, though, I was born there  .
GPA hurts you a little bit, but I don't think you have anything to worry about  .
Chance me back please <3 Chance me for UC's, UPitt, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, etc! Will chance back! | |

Syracuse, Babson, Boston - good chance
Villa, BC - mediocre chance.
GPA could be higher, but if your school is as rigorous as you say it is, colleges take that into consideration, so you should be fine.
But if you decide to go apply as a social science major your chance might be greater than if you were to go in as undecided.
Chance me back please? Chances for 6 schools | |

Your low GPA makes BC a high reach.
Others are mostly high match/low-reach
