Hi everyone! I just took a trip to the east coast and looked at most of the ivys and some other, smaller liberal arts colleges there. I liked most of what I saw, absolute favourites were Amherst, Princeton and Wellesley, but now looking at my list, it is way too top heavy, with lots of reach schools and not enough targets. Please could you suggest some target schools and comment on my chances of getting into an Ivy.

Im a senior at a public high school in california
SAT superscore: 2210 (Reading 750, Math 740, Writing 720)
ACT: 34
AP Euro, AP US, AP Physics: All 5’s
Unweighted GPA 4.0, Weighted 4.6
IB full diploma candidate
Extracurriculars: started a community service club, Secretary General of my school’s MUN program, probably president of Academic Decathlon team, and I lived in South Africa for 3 years (grade 7 to 10)

So again, target schools please, and chance at Ivies.
