<p>Honestly, I don’t think you have a single safety school listed.</p>

<p>Since you’re from California, maybe consider applying to some Cal states which are still taking applications.
Boston college, george washington, ucsd, and uci are all matches. Every other school listed is at least a slight reach.</p>
