<p>well, you don’t have your test scores, so i don’t think theres a good enough indication. i think your ECs and GPA are good though. i’m not really sure what you should cut from your list, but i do think your EA list is wayy too long. colleges may not take you seriously as a EA candidate if you apply to so many.</p>

<p>Colleges do not usually know where else a student has applied to.</p>

<p>we’re gonna need some test scores here</p>

<p>and why don’t you actually do some research on the some of the schools on your list. See if they’re strong and compatible with your fields of interest. Go visit, and get a feel of their campuses</p>

<p>Rugg’s guide might be a good resource. I notice that several of your schools are not on his list for recommended biology programs, for example.
Bear in mind that admission to UC-Berkeley is very tough out of state.</p>
