Stanford + UCB + Ivy League Chance Me (Three-Year HS Grad) [CA resident, 4.0 GPA, 1510 SAT, 33 ACT, neuroscience, applied math, or bioengineering]

If $10k is preferred, why apply to schools that will cost not $70k but $85k plus

With UCs and CSUs, you have lots of options.

And lots of great schools with bio engineering. Why only reaches ?

You may get in a school but need to have a match too. Arizona and Colorado would both be good choices. U Washington a match vs the safeties of the first two.

Are you only looking out West ? You note that but the Ivies aren’t.

Good luck
