Help me find some likely options?

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I understand that the categories I originally listed are probably mostly inaccurate, that’s fine, I understand that Harvey Mudd is a very difficult school to get into.

I should probably also note two things, firstly, I have been very dedicated to the extra-curriculars I listed. I’ve put in hundreds of hours to both Taekwondo and robotics. Secondly, I bombed the SAT writing section. My scores were 790 crit reading, 720 math, and 630 writing, so my combined math/crit reading was slightly over 1500. That’s also why I’m hoping to significantly improve my superscore the second time I take it.

Also, to repeat a part of my earlier question, is it really unreasonable to consider UW a safety school? I get that direct admission is difficult to get, but the university overall has a higher than 50% acceptance rate, and my scores are better than their mid-range of applicants. Since you don’t apply to a specific college for the first year, wouldn’t it be easy to get into?
