<p>and im thinking of going bio major or premed.
but then my SAT isnt exactly great- but have GPA of 4.2 and probably in top 10 in the school. hows my chance of getting in those school? i know they r competitive schools...
which school should i put in for safety? any suggestions? i want good bio university or premed.</p>

<p>George Wshington or Pitt would be good safeties. Are you from CA? Some of the schools you listed will be difficult to get into: Brown, JHU, Washington U St Louis. IF you are not a CA resident, the CA schools will be difficult too.</p>

<p>noo im an international student- although i do go to an american school. yeaaah those school are kinda tough..
o ya one of my friends told me dat early decisions tend to be easier or sumwhat lenient if ur aiming for one of the top schools- is that trueeee????</p>

<p>well usually (not all the time) for some schools, they accept a higher percent of students who apply early decision rather than regular</p>

<p>Good list. Check out WUStL carefully before applying. 75% of the biology majors are pre-med, and that would drive me insane. I'd also consider dropping one or more of the UCs; they're really not worth OOS tuition and fees. </p>

<p>Consider Emory, which has fantastic opportunities for a pre-med (the CDC and American Cancer Society are next door). Tufts would be another excellent choice.</p>

<p>It's hard to say without knowing your stats and preferences, but Case Western, Northeastern, Rochester, Miami, and Boston U are possible matches/safeties. If you're willing to consider smaller schools, Occidental, Goucher, Franklin & Marshall, and Lewis & Clark are good biology/pre-med schools in or near large cities (except F&M).</p>

<p>i preferr east coast- </p>

<p>i was searchn sum more- how about syracuse, villanova, lehigh...?
u knoww, im really starting to worry cuz this one gurl who got in jh was saying that SAT scores is quite important- and that she got in evn thou she wasnt quite the top students. aghhhh i dont evn have at leaest 2000. :( but i guess im a well rounded student- community service-sports-musicals-
any suggestionss???-</p>
