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>Also, any advice BESIDES improving my SATs by 200 points and getting up my ACT to 34ish? And also chances for EACH school. I wanna know for UC Berkeley and UCLA.</p>

<p>Highly likely at Cal & UCLA, Hopkins, & Emory (but only if you demonstrate interest). Dunno about Rice and NU.</p>

<p>The UC’s will depend a lot on your essays, however. You could get into both, or just one. Two years ago, a student at our HS got into UCLA honors, received merit money from Hopkins, but was rejected by Cal. “Stuff” happens.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
