For UCLA and UCB they only accept Math II, and your gpa is too low

Syracuse - Low Reach/Match
NYU - Reach
Tufts- High Reach
USC- High Reach
Rice- High Reach
UC Berkley- High Reach
UCLA- High Reach
UF- Match
Skidmore- Low Reach/Match
Rollins- Match/In

These educated guesses are based on avg stats I have seen for all of those schools. My bad if it seems a bit harsh. I think you should probably not apply to some of those really high rank schools because I do not think your stats fit in, unless you can write one of the best essays in the applicant pool, are a urm student, and have a significant explanation for your gpa (health issue etc.) P.S: I wish I had your ECs
