<p>“Also, it would be gladly appreciated if you could suggest solid safety, and match schools.”</p>
<p>You should be in a very good position to be admitted to public schools. The University of Wisonsin at Madison happens to be excellent at chem, bio, and computer science. Your GPA is low for Madison but your SAT is way above their requirements. UTexas at Austin or UIlllinois at Urbana-Champaign would be good for chem and com sci.</p>
<p>The low GPA means most schools that are safeties for you are, judging by your test scores, far below your ability level. I’d apply to good state schools with normal admission requirements for OOS students (i.e. do not apply to Berkeley or Chapel Hill). If you prefer private nationals or LAC’s, go for ones that tend to accept one bad application aspect. </p>
<p>If I were you, my list would look something like this (considering GPA. You’re above 75th percentile scorewise at every school on the list. You might drop below 75th at Chicago with the lower acceptance rate this year, but probably not):</p>
<p>Reach: UWisconsin-Madison, UChicago, Reed College
Match: UTexas-Austin, UIllinois-Urbana-Champaign, UFlorida (if you’re up for national merit)
Safety: Purdue, most state schools</p>
