<p>If I were you, I'd go to UCSD, USC, Boston Univ, Washington or Florida (my preferences in that order). Reasons for theses choices are: Good schools, good cities, and good prospects for medical school and/or medical jobs upon graduation</p>

<p>Might want to look at Tufts and Holy Cross both near Boston with very good pre-med programs. Holy Cross is also SAT optional with strong alumni network.</p>

<p>I think you have at shot at the University of Miami, but University of Florida is kind of a reach.</p>

<p>really?</p>

<p>what's the avg gpa for U of Florida?</p>

<p>Here is UF's 2006 FTIC profile:</p>

<p>Middle 50% of the Class</p>

<p>High School GPA of 3.9 - 4.4
SAT of 1220 - 1390
ACT of 26 - 31 </p>

<p><a href="http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frprofile.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frprofile.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Yeah, Tufts would be a reach but you can try because the biomedical sciences -- all of them -- are top-notch.</p>

<p>Acad GPA (9-12) Weighted: 4.1795 Unw: 3.6164
Acad GPA (10-12) Weighted: 4.0755 Unw: 3.4717
Total GPA (9-12) Weighted:4.1628 Unw: 3.6512</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.84</p>

<p>Do I still have a pretty good shot at UCSD and UCI?
Washington U?
NYU?</p>

<p>I'm a resident of FL, so I have alot of friends are at UM or UF. I don't know how being OOC will affect you, but you would have a great shot at UF. UM, on the other hand, might be questionable. I know one of the med programs there requires an unweighted GPA of 3.75.</p>

<p>Fact: UF is harder to get into than UM</p>

<p>Well... I know of some serious retarded people who got into UF. And UM's med program is hard to get into since it attracts alot of top notch students.</p>

<p>UF is ranked 47th for Undergraduate, whereas UM is ranked 54th</p>

<p>Let's also compare UF & UM's Med Schools:</p>

<p>UF Research Ranking - 50
UM Research Ranking - 56</p>

<p>UF Primary Care Ranking - 52
UM Primary Care Ranking - Not Ranked</p>

<p>UF Peer Assesment Score - 3.0
UM Peer Assesment Score - 2.9</p>

<p>UF Average MCAT Score - 10.5
UM Average MCAT Score - 9.8</p>

<p>UF Tuition - 18k
UM Tuition - 39k</p>

<p>Yes, UF and UM are comparable schools due to the fact that neither of the schools is that much better to the point where the increase in selectivity or U.S. News rank would benefit him/her when applying to grad school or for a job.</p>

<p>Do not go by the rankings between these two schools. The difference of 7 spots is so small and the rankings differences in medical schools so minute that if you graduate with an identical gpa from both schools you will have the same opportunities.</p>

<p>UM is not better than UF to the point where it will open more doors, create much stronger connections or put you at a distinct advantage over UF when it comes time to grad school.</p>

<p>The same goes for UF over UM.</p>

<p>Go where you think you will be happiest and therefore will have the highest chances to succeed.</p>

<p>"Go where you think you will be happiest and therefore will have the highest chances to succeed."</p>

<p>I agree with Dunkaroo</p>

<p>"Go where you think you will be happiest and therefore will have the highest chances to succeed."</p>

<p>it'd be nice if the answer was clear...
it's easier said than done... :(
all in all tho...i think i will probably follow what calcruzer said..
originally i was thinking i'd go to some nice LACs for undergrad and go to uni for postgrad......but those are all reaches for me so..</p>
