<p>**EDITED Chance me and I'll chance you! This may be a long list, but I am serious about this. If you take the time to read and respond to mine, I will try my best to chance yours as well, though I am still a newbie at this. Also, give serious answers and advice please!</p>
<p>I am going to be a senior and am curious if anyone would be honest with the reality of my choices. My current picked colleges are ranked below from top picks to lowest:

<p>As of now, my major points to somewhere in the medical field, probably in biology and take it further such as becoming a doctor someday or any important role in the health field really.</p>

I recently took the SAT and don't have the score yet, but I believe it was better than my ACT score; lets hope so.</p>
