Hello everyone! I’m new to this forum and I would like to get your opinion on whether my list of colleges are realistic. I’m only posting my stats because I don’t have time to sort out an ec list right now haha. So I’m basically just asking if I’m academically qualified and if I should bother applying to the schools listed below…

Here are my stats:

Asian Male (Calif.)

AP Euro Hist - A/A
H Alg. 2/Trig - C/B
H Chem - B/B
Spanish II - B/A

Grade 11

AP Lang & Comp - A/A
AP US Hist - A/A
H Hu Anat/Phy - A/A
Pre-Calculus - A/A
Spanish III - A/A

Grade 12

AP Lit
Hon Econ
AP Physics B
AP Calc A/B

AP Art Hist

10-11 GPA: 4.4w / 3.75uw
Rank: 43/754

SAT I - 2300 (800 cr / 700 m / 800 wr)

*Planning to take Math II & US Hist

AP Human Geography - 5
AP Chem - 1
AP Euro Hist - 5
AP Env. Sci. - 4

*Taking Psych, US Hist, Lang tests this year

McGill
University of Washington
Georgetown
UCLA
UC Irvine
UCSD
UC Berkeley
Vanderbilt (maybe ED)
Northwestern
Duke
HYP (why not?)

Stanford

I think I’m being too optimistic, I’ll probably end up in Community College though and work my way to Berkeley.

If you guys could suggest some colleges that would be great too! I’m planning to be pre-med or business

Thanks!
