<p>i dont know how the med programs work but id say you have a good shot at the other schools you listed.</p>
<p>Duke-match
Vanderbilt (scholarship?)-high match. BIG merit scholarship
Johns Hopkins-match
Harvard-reach
UF-in
USF (7 yr med)-??
UMiami (7 yr med)-see vandy</p>
<p>thanks! i sure hope you are right</p>
<p>any more opinions?</p>
<p>Admission to Duke is tougher than it is for Vanderbilt. That said, both schools are low-reaches for you. One of them will probably accept you, although token89's prediction for BIG MERIT AID from Vandy seems far-fetched.</p>
<p>thanks. slightly less enthusiastic ha. any suggestions for other colleges?</p>
<p>The only schools I'd be worried about getting into would be Harvard and Duke. I'm not sure if you'll get scholarship from Vandy, because I don't know how they decide scholarship money there. Harvard is a reach while Duke is a low reach to high match. Your test scores coupled with val make you an extremely competitive candidate. You have leadership in some of your ECs and you go to a competitve school where you are val. I personally think you have a really great shot at top schools. I'd advise you to add some more schools in there if you are hellbent on attending a top college. Also, you aren't Asian, so your stats are even more impressive within your demographic (white female from Florida)</p>
<p>Some schools you should apply to: Princeton (attainable reach), MIT (low reach high match because you're a girl), Stanford (attainable reach), Rice (match), Cornell engineering (match), and UPenn (high match)</p>

<p>thanks. the big problem is i won't be able to attend Vandy w/o a scholarship. duke i might suffer for... UF is free so unfortunately i might end up there. </p>
<p>and i would chance you but i honestly have no clue how this college admissions process works...</p>
<p>ha i'm really bored. post please :]</p>
<p>I think you're in at Duke but don't have the ECs for Harvard.</p>
<p>thank you. harvard is pretty much on there for "kicks and giggles".</p>
