<p>Only problem is your gpa and rank are not very good and below the norm, its going to be a tough year dealing with rejection letters....</p>

<p>You are by no chance classified as a normal student, but supernatural especially by CC standards.
Your EC don't reflect your passion for premed; however, your awards in band are very good hooks. and your other clubs should even things out. Write good essays and recs, hopefully you'll get into all of them.</p>

<p>Duke - low reach
Columbia - reach
Washington University - Saint Louis - high match
Dartmouth - low reach
Cornell - high match
Johns Hopkins - match
Brown - low reach
Case Western - safety(I think you automatically get a $26,800 scholarship w/ those scores)
Umich - safety
OSU - safety</p>

<p>I guess I just need to know if you think I should apply anywhere else and what else I can do to improve my chances.</p>

<p>Bump =) =) =)</p>

<p>If you're happy with your safeties, you don't need to apply anywhere else.
Since you will be a full-pay student, if you have a clear favorite among your reach schools, you should apply ED. That usually improves your chances (check the figures for each school).</p>

<p>k, just got my report card and my weighted GPA is a 4.133</p>

<p>He's a val. His GPA is frickin above the norm at EVERY SCHOOL. To the OP great chances everywhere just know that if you send SAT II scores you will also send your SAT scores.</p>

<p>weighted GPA has no meaning if you are valedictorian</p>

<p>i say you are pretty much set for all of the schools</p>
