Here’s the thing, there are alot of apps like you. So you might get in, but there is also a very strong likelihood you might not. I personally know 3 valedictorian 1600 apps who didnt get into any of those. Your ECs and GPA are good but not amazing. The good news, in the long run the other Ivies provide essentially the same grad placement, recruitment, and alumni networks and you have a better shot at them. I would make sure to apply to at least a few of the other Ivies, depending on what type of school you want. Also check out the LACs, Swat, Williams, Amherst. All of these schools are very different experiences than CAL and you should look into them.
