<p>Cum. GPA <strong>PLEASE READ</strong>*
I had different career goals freshman year. I wished to pursue an art education but after freshman year I changed my mind and wished and still wish to practice medicine. So for freshman year I received 3.0 and 3.14 as cum. Ever since it's 3.97's,4.0's and 4.05's. I have now raised my GPA to 3.75. I hope the admissions counselors will understand and do you guys think that they will?</p>

<p>ACT = 28 (retaking in Sept)
SAT = 1840 (ACT will be higher)</p>

<p>A lot of EC's and all have me in leadership positions (too tired of listing them. IDK how many times I've done this but, way too much)
Volunteer displaying bugs at Milwaukee Public Museum (in progress)
Music stuff</p>

<p>AP Comp Sci = 4
AP Bio = 4
Next year schedule
AP Psych
AP Chem
AP Calc
AP Eng
AP Span
AP Gov
Physics</p>

<p>This is where I think I stand when I look at the schools I want to apply to:</p>

<p>Safties: Meaningless listing them because they are a bunch of local public schools
BU
Loyola Chicago
Marquette
UW Madison
UM Minneapolis
Fordham
NYU
UCLA (reach)
Columbia (reach)</p>

<p>Does anybody wish to respond with their opinions and please list any other schools I would be a good applicant for!!!</p>

<p>Columbia and UCLA are definitely reaches, as you stated. To get accepted to UCLA out-of-state is as difficult as getting accepted to some of the ivies.</p>

<p>Right now you have a good shot at getting accepted to most of the schools on your list. I would say that BU and Fordham are good matches.</p>

<p>If you could raise your SAT score, it would benefit you a lot. If that 1840 was raised to near 2000, you would have a decent chance at NYU while BU and Fordham would become pretty good bets.</p>

<p>Haha, displaying bugs at a museum. That is pretty funny, would make for an enjoyable essay without a doubt!</p>

<p>Also:<br>
BIO E = 640
MATH II = 650
And I won't retake these. I don't think they are good but at least they are above 600. :|</p>
