<p>You are in the hunt for all of them. Three years ago my D was Val with your GPA and SAT’s, 16 good ec’s but was wait-listed and finally got into Brown regular, and Cornell regular etc.</p>

<p>Brown combined is harder than Harvard UG bio due to the sheer number of applicants fighting for such a limited number of spots and that they give really good merit aid in med school not UG. You only get real UG aid if parents are under 60k in income since there is no merit aid.</p>

<p>My D received a couple of free rides for regular UG schools but chose a half ride combined
Since she has been focused on being a pediatric neurologist since her cousin was diagnosed with autism 10 years ago. </p>

<p>I think if you apply to enough schools including a couple of safeties , do your best in the interviews you have to leave it up to Karma because things will just seem to fall together like some master plan.</p>

<p>Should have decent chances of getting interview for all schools you listed. Brown is a crapshoot and depends a lot on the essay. Otherwise, you’re in good shape. Good luck.</p>

4

<p>You should easily get an interview from slu</p>

<p>Case Western and Northwestern are never shoe-ins for interviews, it it looks like you have a shot.</p>
