I do not know a lot about your colleges except UCLA, UCB, and a little USC.

Average for Berkeley
UW = 3.8
W = 4.3

So your gpa is okay but a little low.
Good GPA

SAT could be a little higher?

You don’t have a lot of unique extracurriculars but I’m sure your education of autistic chidl would help. If it was a really amazing and well-written essay, that should get you into UCLA.

My friend who had like a 3.3 weighted GPA but amazing essays/personal statement and a 2200 SAT got into UCLA. She was low-income and single-parent though. That might have affected it.

You’d probably get into USC too.

I don’t think Northeastern, Brown, Cornell, or John Hopkins IMHO.
