my first choice is Wellesley College, but with my gpa, i think it's a high high high reach.
i'm interested in studying premed, and possibly minoring in psychology.

not too good in my opinion.

I don't think your GPA is so bad, considering how rigorous your schedule is. The top women's colleges want to see good grades in the most stringent curriculum, so a 4.3 weighted is pretty decent. Your chemistry SAT II scores are high, so is your AP Chem score, good indicators that you'll probably do well in a college level chemistry or bio chem class.

I'd say you've got a good chance (these are so hard unless the person is totally under-qualified or over-qualified) at any of the seven sisters. Good luck!
