<p>You shouldn't have difficulty at any of them. What do you want to study?</p>

3

<p>Biology or Biochemistry. I want to go to med school following undergrad study</p>

<p>do you really think that my chances are good? I'm nervous. I applied to Stanford Early Action and that was definitely a reach school. I really want to go to Wellesley though and if accepted I may pick it over Stanford. I'm not sure though. I'll know by mid December.</p>

<p>I really do think your chances are very good. My d. is at Smith (she preferred it over Williams and the Ivies). I would definitely choose Wellesley over Stanford - I just think you'd get a better education. (but I'm a guy!)</p>
