You are competitive for all of your posted schools. As a California resident, you should be admitted to all three UCs to which you are applying. Also, you look highly likely for USC. If you apply RD to Northwestern, your profile is similiar to the other applicants and your chances will be about 25% in this most competitive year. ED about 55%. Columbia is tough! 10- 15%. Univ. of Michigan Ross School of Business is about 65% based on your numbers, possibly higher.

You are definitely well rounded, good job! You will definitely get into all the UC's. The toughest is probably Columbia. That was my dream school. I tried out there but the only person who got in there in my class was the snobby genius who was ranked number one in our class : (. Oh well. You can do it! Good luck!
