SAT: Shooting for 2100

I don’t know what to do this summer yet.
I hope to apply for 1) Teach English in Taiwan, 2) Princeton Journalism Program, 3) Vision New America (a political civic education program in NYC). Any thoughts?

Schools looking at
Berkeley, Stanford, Dartmouth, Boston College, Cornell, UCLA, USC, UCSD, Colgate, Georgetown, Columbia

I hope to either become a lawyer or go into business (MBA). What do you think?
I really would like to attend Dartmouth because I hear they have a good study abroad program.

I’m guessing it’s a big reach considering my grades. But I’m hoping my web design business that I started to help my family with money would help me stand out on the application.
