What’s your gender, if you’re willing to share, not sure I saw that. It is important for STEM majors at the colleges you’re interested in. If female, your chances are better, maybe significantly better at places like Hopkins, MIT, Cal Tech, esp if you apply early as well.

“A “likely admit” to UCLA, Cal, UMich? Sorry, no. They’re a reach. All less than 20% acceptance rates.”
They’re not a reach for this applicant, unless you have data over anecdotes regarding those universities. The HS Naviance (if they have it) is probably the best and my guess is that a 36/4.0 is going to have more accepts than rejects.
