I’d say Carnegie Mellon is a solid match for you - I’d be surprised if you didn’t get in, but as with any selective school, admissions aren’t a sure bet for anyone.

As for additional suggestions, you should look into Johns Hopkins, definitely. A moderate reach for you, and a very science-oriented school. If you’re willing to venture a bit into the midwest, check on Wash U in St. Louis, too.

I think you’re definitely underestimating your abilities - a 93% average translates to maybe a 3.9 depending on the scale you use (it’s be a 4.0 at my school, but I’m not sure how colleges determine that). 2230 SAT is within range for most all top schools.

The two schools I mentioned generally come to mind as top science schools, but if you mentioned some more specific preferences I might be able to give you some additional recommendations.
