<p>Hi OP,</p>

<p>Your stats are pretty good. When I read your ECs, I wish there had been a greater concentration of medical ECs. I see far more cultural ECs in your application than medical ECs. So, chances are that someone who has similar stats as you but far more medical ECs could potentially tip it in his/her favor.</p>

<p>I would also pick some mid tier programs. The competition is fierce at Rice and PLME.</p>

<p>Having said that, I would not discourage you from applying to any of these places. You may never know until you apply. Together with reach schools, make sure you have some 'realistic mid tier' schools too.</p>

<p>Also, please don't post weighted GPA. It means nothing to the reader. People can evaluate you only on 'UW' GPA. So, do post that up.</p>

<p>If your UW GPA is <3.75, your chances are slim at any BS/MD schools.</p>

<p>i know someone with an uw 3.6 who got into NorthWestern. SHOW UR PASSION!!!!!!!</p>
