<p>Don’t take those with much weight. It’s hard to tell with the given info and you never know what they’re looking for.</p>

<p>A 1410/1600 SAT I is not weak. If you are a California resident, then you are very competitive for UCB & UCLA. You should be admitted to CMU, JHU & UMich. Your ECs are charity work & flute; and that is enough if you write an application that distinguishes yourself as a match for each school. You are in the running for all of these outstanding schools, except for Brown & Dartmouth in my opinion. Duke is tough as well. I disagree with the above poster in that CMU & JHU are match schools for you. But, even as match schools, that means a one in three chance of being admitted, although I think that your chances are much better than one in three for these schools. Teacher recs and application essays will be important. P.S. Tufts is unpredictable and highly popular–but with a 1410/1600 SAT and a 3.98/4.0 GPA you are very well qualified.</p>
