Target schools suggestions?

Hello! I’m a Junior right now, expected to have a 3.95 UW GPA, 4.75 W, and valedictorian. I have two AP scores right now for Euro and HUG (both 5’s) and I’m taking Psych, Calc AB, Bio, and Lang right now, as well as Lit, Micro Econ, and Gov next year. My extracurriculars are a little worse than average, I work at an escape room 21 hours a week and then I have some school-programs like studying business, in a movie/book club, and being a social media manager. I plan on grinding a Marketing internship and volunteering at an animal shelter this summer.

So anyways, good course rigor and GPA and meh EC’s. I’m already looking at all the UC’s since I’m in Cali (UCSD is my dream school but I think it’s a reach 🤞). UW, too. My counselor said 30-60% is a target for me but I think I can go a little lower (?). I’d like to major in Comms/Media Studies/Marketing (all for marketing). If anyone has any tips or recommendations for a school I might like, that would be so amazing 🤩. Preferably a larger school, on the east/west coast, but I’m open for other options because I’m really struggling to find schools I’d like to apply to.

I recommend Georgia Tech, Arizona University, and Florida State University. These are some of the best colleges I've come across and offer exceptional education quality.

I honestly think you could probably go anywhere you want. your GPA is incredible and you have an internship in your interested field of study. I personally like UVM for their marketing or GIT, but for media studies or communications I would look at Cornell or Rice.
