<p>Hello,
I am entering my senior year and I just started my college apps. I know I want to major in biomedical engineering, but I kinda have no idea what colleges should be my targets and what should be my reaches.
GPA weighted: 3.92
GPA unweighted: 3.73 (Sharp upward trend with 3.5 frshman year and first semester sophomore year, 3.7 second semester sophomore year, 4.5 both semesters junior year)</p>
<p>SAT Math: 760 Reading: 640 Writing: 800 =>2200
SAT II Math II: 800 SAT II Biology: 790 SAT II Chemistry: 790
AP Scholar with Distinction: Bio 4 Chem 4 Calc 5 Stat 5 World 5
This Year's classes:
AP Physics, AP Compsci, Multivariable, Video Production, Philosophy, Gov/Econ
My biggest extracurricular was during my summer internship (was there for 2 summers) at a biotech start-up I created a synthetic molecule that if works, will get me onto the company patent but I won't know the results for the next three months. I also play the guitar and drums and I DJ, played tennis for most of my life, danced in breakdance club freshman/sophomore year, active DECA competitor freshman and sophomore year and was a state finalist 1 and state semifinalist 2.</p>
<p>From all this my best guess is the following, though I could be way off, please let me know if my list is realistic or not. I also have no back-ups, and could use some advice on matches for me.</p>
<p>Reaches:
Caltech
Columbia
Dartmouth
Duke

Stanford</p>
<p>Targets:
