Matches and Safety schools?

Just looking for some match and safety schools for a microbiology major.

  • about a 3.8 (W) gpa (going to one of the best schools in the city and #1 in the district; upward trend)

  • 28 ACT (just took the june 10th test, might change)

  • 1270 SAT (will definitely change this and study to 1400+, definitely shooting for 1500+)

  • class rank: 5/~120

  • top 3% of class

  • AP classes taken: APUSH, euro, spanish lit, spanish lang, ap english lang; going to take AP bio, ap lit, and ap gov this upcoming year (taken all available APs in my school)

ECs:

  • 2 years of church youth group
  • started a science immunology blog
  • comic book/anime club during 9th grade
  • CollegeMatch program
  • volunteering in a nearby but pretty major hospital (cant really say name)
  • caretaker at a different hospital for about 2 months
  • online community manager (was told i could put this)
  • began running for about a year now (also told i could put this)
  • peer councilor at my school

background:

  • hispanic/latino male; single parent (recently widowed) household (mom makes ~15k)

  • extenuating circumstances explain my lack of ECs and low GPA during 9th and 10th

  • from california

thanks

cost, size, location, weather, etc. does not matter; just need some schools to think about
