Chance an unusual Asian Male

You have an excellent profile. You also have a mother who can showcase your app so it looks good to AOs.

Make sure you have a school that you know will take you, preferably early. I don’t see a single early option to get that sure thing done. UCs don’t have any early notifications and they are heavily GOA driven. Your GC and mother can tell you more about your chances st them. If Merced or Riverside are your Safeties, fine. I still believe the crux of college search is finding that non selective school that will take you early that meets all of your academic wants. Anyone can just take top college names off the top school lists. Your college. list shows no work or creativity. Just name brands. It would be great to see some results of brain storming with your mother and adding some great lesser known schools to the list.
