<p>Major:
I'm interested in cellular biology, neurobiology, neurophysiology, (or biology in general) and pre-med. Which of these colleges is best for both? I may double major in business, but I will see later.
Please chance me for the most number you can do of the colleges listed in the title and offer me advice. (I know that my SAT Reasoning and ACT will go up).</p>

<p>SAT score is a bit low for those schools. Get it up to at least 2150+ and with your strong GPA, good chance at all schools.</p>

3

<p>Yes, thanks for that. I’m glad I only have to improve on a test score rather than add another extracurricular, which takes so much effort and strain on me during the year.</p>

4

<p>Your test scores are low, so make sure you study for those a lot. Aim for at least 2200/34, and 750+ on SAT Math. Then you should have good chances at all. JHU is a reach, but it is for most people.</p>

5

<p>What about UC Berkeley and UCLA?? Thank you guys for the responses, but your responses are general. I already know that I need to improve my SATs and ACTs. What about specifically for these 2 colleges?</p>

6

<p>I think you’re in UCLA, but no clue about UCB.</p>

7

<p>Good strong chance at UCLA and UCB, probably will get into one or the other. Again raise your SAT’s and you’ll only increase your chances.</p>
