<p>I've found a few i'm really interested in such as</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>Rank: 149/597
GPA: ~3.5-3.6 (UW) 4.97/6 (W)
SAT: 680 Math, 680 CR, 600 Writing --- im retaking in october
ACT: taking it next week hoping to get a 32-33</p>

<p>AP Bio, AP World History, AP US Gov, various Honors classes</p>

<p>ECs: Summer volunteering at a rehab center for two summers, Coaching 12-13 year old kids basketball, Playing in school intramural basketball for 3 years, playing in the community basketball league for 4+ years, shadowing an Orthopaedic surgeon this past summer, Treasurer of MSA (Muslim Students Assn) Sophomore year, helping to organize the school blood drive with the AP Bio teacher</p>

<p>I'm looking for an undergrad business major looking to go to med school after that. </p>

<p>Please suggest various matches, high matches, and low reaches :)</p>

2

<p>Boston College
Colgate University
Fordham
Syracuse
Temple U
etc etc</p>

3

<p>^^etc etc? that helps. BC is not a low reach or a match. It is a very high reach along with vanderbilt and emory.</p>

4

<p>Alright, other than that, I named four more schools.</p>

<p>Adding etc did not depreciate the quality of my suggestion, so I don’t see why it would be a problem. </p>

<p>And BC would be a really really really high match. We can disagree on this one.</p>

5

<p>Okay lets not argue, haha. Thanks though. I’m going to pick one reach-high reach and just go at it hard…so which one would be the “easiest”? </p>

<p>What do you think of my list? I’m looking for a medium to large school (>15,000 students) in or near a metropolis.</p>

<p>PS: I like the Syracuse suggestion :)</p>

6

<p>bump. . . .</p>

7

<p>ive heard good things about wisconsin-madison. i would say emory is easiest because its fairly new and not as well known as vanderbilt(once again, dont know much about emory.)</p>

<p>btw vandy doesnt have undergrad business.</p>

8

<p>Emory has been around a long time (1836) and is very well known.</p>

<p>Ga. Tech is most known for engineering and tough grading. Not great for someone wanting a business degree and good gpa for med. sch. admission.</p>

9

<p>no its actually not as well known as the other schools. maybe in that region its well known, but not northeast.</p>

<p>and by fairly new i meant increasing interest</p>

10

<p>Your rank makes BC/Vandy/Emory and other schools at that level very tough. Most of the kids at these schools ranked under top 10% are hooked.</p>

<p>What state are you from? Since you plan med school, you could save a lot going to a state school.</p>

11

<p>I live in Texas, but the unfortunate 10% rule will most likely make getting into UT a hassle, even though every one in the top 25% of my HS is worthy of attending it. I’m going to apply to UT, A&M, and the UH Honors program…</p>

<p>but getting out of the state would be awesome. EFC is ~25-30k</p>

<p>I added Villanova and Syracuse to my list</p>
