<p>Double Bump!!! Anybody please, I just need some feedback, I'm not asking for a statistical percentage here (although that would be nice), just what you guys think. Personally, I think I will get into BU, UMass, Brandeis, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, and Cornell. I might have a small chance of getting into Brown, but I think I will definitely get rejected at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.</p>

<p>What is your unweighted GPA? Cornell looks like a reach for you.</p>

6

<p>My unweighted GPA is like a 91.1/100, otherwise, by my schools standards, I would not be in National Honor Society.</p>

<p>i'd say you have slim chances in all ivies and stanford.</p>

<p>you might have a good chance at johns hopkins in my opinion</p>

9

<p>Ya mon you need more matches.</p>

10

<p>Well, theoneo, the thing is, I have a very strong feeling that I will end up at Brandeis, regardless of where I get in, lol. I think they will give me a good scholarship, and later on, I plan to go to medical school, so not having to pay much tuition for undergrad would definitely help. Also, I know that Brandeis has a very good Biology program, and one of the best Neuroscience programs the country (as good as, if not better than that of Harvard, Yale, etc.) So Brandeis and Tufts for me the only two matches I needed. I decided to take a crap shoot and apply to the rest of those reaches.</p>
