I’m just wondering if I have a shot at getting into any of these schools (and not “oh you ALWAYS have a shot at schools so keep trying” but a legitimate yes or no (possibly some explanations for why). I’m not trying to sound rude or anything but I am going to graduate this year and am wondering what a good school/s would be in my testing range. Here are my scores/gpa:

GPA: unweighted academic (10-12): 3.52
weighted academic (10-12): 4.0

SAT I:2060
Math: 750
Reading: 630
Writing: 680

SAT II:
Math: 790
US History: 620 ( =\ )

ACT: 32
English: 34
Math: 33
Reading: 27
Science: 33

So any help or info on the possibility of getting into any of these schools would be great (average scores of the following schools compared to mine etc). Also as you can see my unweighted gpa is significantly lower than my weighted gpa because I’ve taken a lot of rigorous AP courses but usually get B’s in them. I know colleges look at both GPA and course schedule but I am wondering how I would compare with someone who has say a 3.75 unweighted and a 4.2 weighted but an easy course schedule (very few honors or AP’s). Thanks for the help.
