Chances for Premed/White/Male

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys, new to the fourms but I have been reading here for some time. It seems that a lot of the postings on these fourms are geared toward people going for HYPS, and even though that's not me, I would still appreciate some feedback. Schools:</p>

<p>Case Western
Rice
Grinnell College (IA)
WashU
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
Brown
University of Chicago</p>

<p>There are some others I'm looking at, but I don't think I should have that much trouble getting in. </p>

<p>Profile</p>

<p>Male/Wealthy family ($150000+)/White/Epileptic (Not sure if this matters)/Chicago, IL/Premed</p>

<p>ACT: 32
SAT: 660 CR, 710 Math, 670 Writing
PSAT: 200 (NM Commended Scholar)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.86 Unweighted, 4.15 weighted
School doesn't report class rank, but it's one of the most competitive schools in Illinois, I'm probably top 10-15% </p>

<p>AP's: So far, have taken 4, will have taken 7 by end of HS. So far all 4's with one 2 that I will probably request be taken out (Macroecon, not my forte)</p>

<p>EC's:</p>

<ul>
<li>Volunteer in Surgery Room at local hospital, 2 yrs</li>
<li>Member of Investment Club 2 yrs, Executive Board Correspondence Officer</li>

</ul>

<p>Thank you for your feedback.</p>

<p>Brown and UChicago will probably say no. Your ECs and scores don't make you a great applicant. And, if you're applying to PLME at Brown, there's no way you'll get into that program. It's just too competitive.</p>

<p>The other schools look like good matches though.</p>

<p>I figured that out of that list, I had almost no shot of getting into Brown, and I really doubting UChi and WashU. I visited WashU and loved it, are there any schools similar that would be a match?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>^I think you could get WashU. It's not as crazy selective as people think. I certainly wouldn't put it at the same level as UChicago and Brown.</p>

<p>Tufts and HoLY Cross</p>
