Davis, Irvine, SD, and SB you'll probably get in. The rest are a little out of reach because of your sat's i think.

In at all except LA, Berkley, Penn and Cornell
Those 4 are reaches, for sure. Penn and Cornell will depend strongly on your essays but the SATs seem just way out of their league.
Good luck. Notre Dame Chances EA? Chance Back! (Neat/Clean) | |

intended major? your scores may be good enough for Davis, Irvine, SD, and SB, but you need good essay and reccomendation for theose good private schools which pay attention to your interests and intellectual passion shown in your ec or reccomendations.
