<p>I'm a senior in high school and an Asian California resident living in the San Joaquin valley. I think I have too many colleges I'm applying to, so I need some input. I want to major in chemistry and hopefully go into medicine. My college list in terms of premed are:</p>
<p>Cornell, WUSTL, JHU, Emory, MIT, U of Rochester.</p>
<p>MY SAFETY SCHOOL IS UC DAVIS. I'VE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED THERE.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of taking out MIT just because it's mostly focused on engineering/math, while another university like say JHU is focused more on biosciences. This could be a really bad argument, but I need your guys's opinions. I know all these schools are good in their medical programs. So if I had to take out one or a few, which colleges should I remove?</p>
