Wayyyyyy too many reaches. If you haven't already started writing your essays, you will find it really tough to shotgun all the ivys. Its just really unrealistic since they are all so unique. Remember, quality over quantity.
I think you have some pretty good backup options if your reaches dont work out
Cut all the schools that you are not passionate about attending. If you don’t see yourself there, then don’t apply. Dont just apply to Harvard bc its Harvard. Apply to Harvard only if you feel its the right fit.
I think Brown could be a good option for ED, bc the grade inflation
idrk, but I just know you'll have a much easier time getting a 4.0 than somewhere like UChicago
and any ivy should give a good boost for any field
jhu gives the biggest ED boost (no legacy) but also isn't likely to be easy on gpa
if you want a high gpa, don't even consider UCLA, Berkeley, or GTech for STEM
gtech has it for all majors, ucla is actually not gpa deflated for most except for School of Engineering majors
I think there's a good chance you can get a high GPA at UCLA if you don't pick the wrong major
also UCSD (not UCSB) should be on your list. UCSB is mainly Psych/Socio majors
