Good stats, but ECs are a bit weak. High match for Macaulay

@eic2400 haha yeah. The people on this site have crazy good EC’s… Makes you reevaluate your entire existence lmao

I would attempt TCNJ pre-med program as well.

Your ACT are a lot higher than your SAT-so I would not send the SATs. Yes about SAT 2’s if you want to be competitive for your most competitive schools and a top score on the Math 2 will help offset the ACT Math subtest score. The composite is excellent but the distribution of the sub-scores isn’t quite ideal. So I think SAT2s would be good if they don’t interfere with other important things. People are going to suggest you go to a school where you will be among the strongest students so you can ensure a high GPA. I’m not a big believer in that strategy because many people who start off pre-med don’t end up staying pre-med regardless of where they attend college. And it you end up in grad rather than professional school, coming from a strong college will be plus-as it will anyway.

Current Wash U freshman here! I had a 32 on my ACT (33 superscored). I am from Westchester so very familiar with the CUNYs and SUNYs and I’m sure you’ll get into all of them! The list seems pretty realistic to me. The ECs are strong which is important. The only thing that worries me is the recommendation from the 9th grade teacher, but I’m sure you’ll be ok. :slight_smile:
