@spiderduckpig The list of colleges above is exhaustive. I am applying regular to all schools listed.
@slamthatmule I had a similar profile to you when I applied 2 years ago, I also had a 1590 and had 5 AIME qualifications (max on AMC 12 was 126), USACO Gold my main extracurriculars were coding personal projects, clubs, also middle class Asian. Based on my results I think you will get into all UCs aside from Berkeley and LA (I was not from CA so it'll be different if you're from CA). For the 12 reaches I think you will get into 1-3 of them. It depends a lot on essay quality though which is pretty intangible.
