Critique My College List & Add Some Schools????

College Search & Selection
1

Hi, some background information:
I go to school in NY
4.0 GPA
1400 SAT (new)/33 ACT
On my cheerleading team all four years, hold leadership positions in clubs and extremely involved in my school & my community with volunteer work consistently throughout high school.
I don’t have a price limit, because financial aid is going to cover a lot of it (I know everyone is going to say you don’t REALLY know, but I am sure financial aid is going to cover 90%+ of the cost)
I am looking to go to med school, so I am really trying to find a school that has good advisors and a good support system for premeds, and my only restriction is I am trying to stay on the East Coast, and don’t really want to go any farther than North Carolina.

Right now, my list is

Boston College
Brown University
Colgate University
Cornell University
Georgetown University
Lehigh University
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Stony Brook
UNC Chapel Hill
Villanova University

Right now, I don’t know if I should apply to Nova or Lehigh, because I am really unsure of how their premed programs look to med schools. I am also looking for some suggestions as to where to apply, I am looking for some more target schools to apply to because I feel like I don’t have enough on my list. Thank you!!

You could review the schools in “The Experts’ Choice: Colleges with Great Pre-med Programs” (online) for any that might be generally suitable for you.

3

College of the Holy Cross has a very strong pre med program and meets full need. Tufts has a pre med option where you can apply early to med school.

4

You need to run net price calculators on all the school websites. That is better than guessing what financial aid you will get.

5

Hamilton and Bates would fit your current selectivity range and be good for pre-med.
