<p>Hello! Please chance me for these schools! My profile:</p>

<p>I was born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia but I grew up in Spain, did my high school in Boston, MA. So I don't know if I'm URM. I'm a permanent resident. Female.</p>

<p>Major: Science, possibly biology or neuroscience (Pre-med)</p>

<p>STATS:

<p>Not much community service to be honest though I've been volunteering now at a hospital as a patient representative in the ER for about 13 weeks and in Pediatrics for 6 weeks one day per week. Also a couple of months/weeks work experience shadowing doctors and surgeons (I'm planning to become a doctor) but I don't think that will make much of a difference? Not sure.</p>

<p>Schools:
Penn State (main) -
Pitt (main) -
U. New Hampshire -
Boston University -
Boston College -
Northeastern -
U. Minnesota Twin Cities -
U. Wisconsin Madison -
NYU (impossible?)-
U. Michigan (impossible?)-
Brown (impossible?)-</p>

<p>I would like to keep at least one of Brown, NYU or U. Michigan since they were the ones I liked the most. Am I dreaming? </p>

<p>PLEASE suggest any other university that as a OOS or instate I could receive money (scholarship, financial aid) OR any other university that will let me send SAT scores taken in Jan 26th.</p>

<p>Hooks: volunteering/shadowing surgeons
URM (?), low-income
art supplement</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP!</p>

10

<p>I say that penn state is a match and that Boston college is a reach, because of your critical reading score.</p>

11

<p>I’m taking out NYU. which one should I add U. Maryland college park, FSU or U. Oregon as safety? In general which one is best for premed/college in general? HELP!</p>

12

<p>^Depends on where you want to be. UMCP is most difficult of the three to be admitted.</p>

<p>SUNY Binghamton or Stony Brook are very reasonably priced for OOS at about $17K. </p>

<p>“I was born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia but I grew up in Spain, did my high school in Boston, MA.”
If you are not a US citizen then you are an international. This can be to your advantage at LAC’s seeking international diversity. How about a women’s college? Scratch Brown and try Wellesley?</p>

13

<p>I have a green card, I’m not international. Would you say UMCP is a reach/match?</p>

14

<p>high match^</p>

15

<p>The only safety I have right now is U. New Hampshire… should I add Oregon/FSU then? I was thinking of maryland but didnt know it would be high match</p>

16

<p>oregon wouldbe my choice of the two.</p>

17

<p>is boston college a reach for me??</p>

18

<p>UMCP is much harder than Penn State to be admitted. It’s also harder than Pitt. Are you a football fan?</p>

<p>Do you want a safety to be so far away?</p>

19

<p>yes BC is a reach</p>

20

<p>safeties/low matches for me are pitt, penn, oregon, new hampshire.</p>

<p>should i forget about umcp? or drop boston college and put umcp in?</p>
