I am a senior in high school and have a 4.43 weighted GPA. I have taken 3 AP's passed all the AP exams and taken 5 college courses at my local community college. I avidly tutor and mentor younger high school students in my free time. I wrestled for all 4 years and on varsity for 2 years.
Do I have what it takes compared to my competitive counterparts to get accepted into top schools in California?
I think more information is needed, especially around standardized test scores and what weighting is the GPA (5.0 scale, 6.0 scale). Also, how do you define "top schools in California?" Are you talking Stanford, Cal Tech, Berkeley or others?
Your GPA is very good and you have good extracurriculars, so it appears you are on the right track, but a standardized score would help a lot.
Don't forget to complete your profile and use the Chancing Simulator on this site for much better (data driven) answers than the message boards will have. Also, keep in mind, the top schools in California are elite. Stanford can afford to be picky, so they may have all of the (insert demographics here) that they need. If you fit in that category, you will be denied regardless.
Name is not all there is to colleges. Fit is a much better metric. Does the school have your major? Do you see yourself enjoying that place for 4-5 years? Is it affordable? Those are probably better questions to ask.
I second the idea of using CollegeVine's chancing engine - this will be the most accurate way to see how competitive your profile is.
As a very general evaluation, your course rigor and weighted GPA are within the ranges that top colleges are looking for. The ECs you listed are solid, though colleges will want to see that you are doing more activities - especially those that make a large impact on the state/national/international stage. Demonstrating a spike through your ECs is also important. And of course, writing great essays is key to get accepted as well. They will account for about 25% of your admissions decision.
Hope this helps!
