“But that’s not what I’m aiming for, I’m aiming for those four schools. My extra-curriculars are superior to nearly all the people that say they have gotten admissions.”
Please, please, please don’t count on acceptances from these schools. CalTech, MIT, and Stanford have some of the lowest admission rates in the country (not sure about UCB). At that level of competition, none can be counted as safeties or even matches. Check threads from last years application cycle - they turn away thousands of perfectly qualified students per year, just because there isn’t enough class space.
Please take the advice of people here and apply to a safety school or two as well.
