I would double-check some of those public schools for in-state bias. I know UCD favors in-state. Maybe UCI and UCSD as well. Are you applying to all the Cali schools because you have some tie to the state?

I think you've kind of identified it yourself, but a lot of your "lol" schools seem pretty ambitious with your profile. Might want to cut a couple to save yourself the secondary hassle. You've got a lot of schools on that list.

Got it. No, not really a reason, I just think living in Cali would be nice, even if it is a longshot.

Agree... if even you think a bunch of schools are "lol," that should potentially be a clue that this isn't a great school list, and you didn't even lol at most of the Cali schools. Really, all the Cali schools are unlikely with your profile, so that's going to be a lot of probably wasted time (and money)

I see, do you have any recommendations on schools to look into?

Remove:
Arizona
UCD
UCI
UCLA
UCSF
UCSD
Stanford
Georgetown (not enough volunteer hours to the underserved)
Howard (HBCU)
Northwestern
Harvard
Columbia
Cornell

I wouldn’t add any of the Jesuit schools without more service to the underserved.

You could probably add:
Vermont
Quinnipiac
MCW
Dartmouth
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
South Florida
Drexel
Albany
TCU

You need to keep at it with community service. You only have 100 hours listed so another 50 to 100 more would help a bit.
