<p>You’re in at every UC.</p>

<p>As far as the reaches (HYPS etc.)</p>

<p>GPA and courseload is obviously flawless.</p>

<p>Focus on doing very well on all of your AP exams this May. Additionally, I recommend taking your SAT IIs in May as well (Do Chem, Math II, and US H) since you’ll already be studied up for the AP Exam. This is what I did last year and I got 770+ on all of my SAT IIs (and 5 on all my exams)</p>

<p>As far as test scores go, 2150 is a little low; definitely retake it and aim for 2200-2250 to be competitive. 34-35 would be as good (or better) if you liked the ACT better.</p>

<p>Extracurricularly you’ve got some good work going on, but the most important things that stood out to me were your fluency in multiple languages and guitar/piano skills. These things look great on your app and should help with admissions.</p>

<p>Honestly, just keep on doing what you’re doing, focus on your passions throughout the year, and you will be competitive at any top 10 school.</p>
