Can anyone help me decide what colleges I should apply to?

<p>Please help me complete my list. Posted below is my partial list and stats:
So what would b some good schools to add to my list: I want 2 or 3 reaches, 3 to 5 matches, and 2 safeties</p>

<li>University of Michigan (insert either match, reach or safety here) </li>
<li>University of Washington (insert either match, reach or safety here) </li>
<li>UC System through common app (insert either match, reach or safety here) </li>
<li>University of Oregon (insert either match, reach or safety here)
5
6.
7
8.
9.</li>
<li>(optional)</li>
</ol>

<p>I posted here because I’ve posted on others, and no 1 helped me out. But Penn, despite my constant posts here have always helped me, along with some of the other ivies. Also, I want to know for my reaches, which 2 should I apply to out of: Brown, Northwestern, Haverford, Penn, Cornell, and WUSTL?</p>

<p>demographics
*I am an Asian Indian Male
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon, Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school.
*student body at school = 500+</p>

<p>what I look for ranked in order of preference:

  1. Want to study medicine so would like a strong biology or anat/phys program
  2. Perfer a medium-small institution
  3. I hate going to a school that no1 knows about, or is considered to be “average”
  4. I dont care very much about the location. I’d perfer, however, to be close to a large city, but not neccessarily IN the city. A nice campus works 2 tho :D</p>

<p>The Numbers/ECs
*Freshman year:
4.0 with honors in 2 classes for both semesters</p>

<p>*Sophomore Year:
3.8125 overall for both semesters
Bs in AP Chem 1st sem, Precalc 2nd sem, Social Studies 1st sem</p>

<p>*Junior Year (projected)

IB Bio HL 1-A,A

IB Calculus-A, A (might be at worst 1 “B”)

IB English-B,B (might get "A"s)
IB Tok 1-B</p>

<p>*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)
*IB Diploma Candidate (to be)

*Varsity tennis 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Team 4 years (will have 4)
*World Quest Trivia 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Club Treasurer (1 year)

*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*will try to get 2000-2100 on SAT, 30+ on ACT</p>

<p>btw I’ve posted these stats many, many times</p>

<p>Any Ivy would be a reach based on what you have done to date, and far too early to project (even for you) what you might do, but <em>if</em> you can get your class rank up and <em>if</em> you do well on SAT (2100 plus) you can consider the Ivies as reaches. The rest of your queries can be easily researched by you. After only sophomore year, it's just a tad too early to provide you with any definitive feedback.....</p>

<p>I agree that it's too early to be thinking about which schools to apply to. Your primary concern should be building yourself up to be the best applicant you can be. Wait until you see how this year turns out for you. Your colloge criteria may also change. Good luck!</p>

<p>i think all ivies are reaches no matter what, the most amazing candidates get rejected from ivy league schools, i have a friend with a perfect score that was straight rejected from columbia and stanford (i know stanford isn't an ivy, but it's comparable).... honestly, build your app, EXPERIENCE life, because that's what counts when you write your essay, and your essay is what distinctifies from you everyone else in the applicant pool.... doing that is better than worrying about college apps so early in your life</p>
