<p>Hi! I go to a public high school in Southern California, but I would like to go to college in the East Coast. However, staying in California will be fine. I would like to become a pediatrician when I grow up. I do not have many extracurricular activities....</p>

<p>Definitely try for NYU! My stats are a bit lower than yours, but it’s still within the range, so you should have a better shot than me!</p>

<p>I would recommend Boston College in the East Coast, just cause it’s awesome, but I dont think their pre-med is really good. But hey, for Cali your pretty much a match for all UC’s cept LA B and SD</p>
