<p>Hi guys. I want to know what you guys think my chances are for Brown, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, NewYork University (NYU), and UPenn are. I'm interested in these schools for their pre-med and med programs in general but haven't made final decisions on majors yet.
Also, this is just a general question but are pre-med programs for these schools much harder to get into? Rumors I hear say that getting accepted into any pre-med program is extremely hard.
Any opinions will be greatly appreciated from anyone!</p>
<p>So these are some of the things I have:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.75 unweighted (pretty low due to a horrid freshmen year if that matters) 3.94 weighted.
-no ranks besides valedictorian and salutatorian in my school</p>
<p>AP Biology:5
AP World History: 4
AP Human Geography: 5
AP Chemistry: 5
AP U.S history: 5
AP Lang & Comp: 4
Taking this year: AP psychology, environmental science, micro¯oeconomics, statistics, calculus BC, physics B.</p>
<p>SAT: 2270
ACT: 35
SAT II Biology E: 800
SAT II Chemistry: 780
SAT II Math II: 800</p>
