<p>what do you want to major in?</p>

3

<p>well my long term goal is to go to medical school. Direct med programs seem like a good idea and one i have in mind is GPPA at UIC, and if I were to get accepted the undergrad major would not matter. But aside from that Im not 100% sure what I would want to major in yet as I feel as though whatever I decided, if i put in the effort I can excel. I just need to figure out what it is that i want to do with myself.</p>

<p>Do you feel more comfortable in a big school, small, rural, urban?</p>

5

<p>I honesty have no specific preference. Thought i feel like being in the city would be a nice change, I've lived in the suburbs of Chicago my entire life, and would prefer to stick around here but really i'm open to anything and everything</p>

6

<p>hmm
Johns Hopkins (Baltimore)- well known for a tough premed atmosphere
Case Western (Cleveland)- tough engineering/science programs- lots of premeds</p>

<p>jhu would be a nice match probably
cwru more of a safety for you</p>

7

<p>thanks im really appreciating the feedback . . . i really have no idea where i would lie in terms of reach/fit/safety any anything is a great help!</p>

8

<p>Check out Duke if you are interested in premed. what state do you live in?</p>

9

<p>Illinois . . . suburbs of Chicago</p>

10

<p>Northwestern also comes to mind. I would also recommend checking out UChicago to see if you like it, but I feel that if you want to focus on pre-med you might not like the Core Curriculum.</p>

<p>the only thing is im scared i wont get in . . . </p>

<p>i know my ACT score is high, but i really just feel like my stats still arent there.</p>
