<p>Okay, I can only see three on your list that would be real stretches, that would be Penn Princeton and Duke. The GPA is a little weak for those schools, but that doesnt mean that you still shouldn't apply because your test scores are good. I say you have a good shot all the others, But I think the best school for you would be Hopkins because they are one if not the strongest in Medical Undergrad in the US</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Quick question, my GPA is 4.36 (weighted) 4.0 (unweighted) -- and this is considered weak for UPenn, Princeton, and Duke? what should the GPA range be that they are looking for?</p>

4

<p>what about sat subjects?</p>

<p>Your GPA is fine, especially as it makes you 6/580, which is top 1%. Keep it up! Get some 5's on those APs as well. </p>

<p>That PSAT score will probably get you recognized and a 33 ACT is solid. </p>

<p>Your ECs, as presented here, aren't stellar, but they are okay. Use your essays and supplements wisely.</p>

<p>Pitt and Case Western should be easy. Kenyon and Franklin & Marshall are right above those and your chances are great for them too (though visiting these schools boosts your chances I hear). Carnegie Mellon, Hopkins, and Cornell are right above those and should be around the match area. Penn and Duke are slight reaches. Brown and Princeton are reaches for sure. GL!</p>

<p>How can a perfect GPA be weak?</p>
