<p>Hello everyone. I'm currently a high school junior, and I had a meeting with my gudance counselor earlier today. We discussed some of the schools he thougt I should apply to, and several names came up. Based on the following data and whatever else, I would like to know names of some schools that may fit me. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Public High School, Asian Male (Indian)
3.74 GPA as of mid year, most rigorous course load
SAT's haven't come yet, but by the time i finish, hopefully a 2300
3 on AP Euro test (damnit haha), taking A.P. U.S. and Physics B this year
SAT BIO M: 750, Math 1C or IIC: in May, Physics: in May
Next Year courses: AP Calc BC, AP Chemistry, AP Economics and Government, AP Spanish Language Part II (yeah my school does it in two years), AP Statistics, AP English (I plan to take both econ tests, chem, bc calc, chem, english, spanish language, and physics C)</p>

<p>Vice President of Medical Club

Member of Environmental Agency and Anti-Bias Force (hopefully some positions next year)
Member of Jazz Band and Symphonic Band (lead trumpet)
Theater Orchestra
Tri-M Music Honor Society, National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, National Society for High School Scholars
Spanish Club Member
Member of Politcal Action Club at School
Preparing for All State Classical and All County Jazz Music Competitions for next year (hopefully i'll make it haha)
Brainstormers/Quizbowl team captain
Mathletes A-Team
Science Research --> one three awards in hgih school at local schience competitions. I plan on attending a research institution this summer and getting a project that i could compete with at INTEL and SW and maybe ISEF. Hopefuly i can get like semifinalist or finalist standing at any one of them.</p>

<p>As you can see, a lot of the extra curricular junk is projected or hopes. I am, however, involved in research, music, and the newspaper, and even if i don't garner prizes in competitions and such in my senior year, i still feel i am pretty dedicated to a large number of things. </p>

<p>My interests lie in the applied sciences with practical math applications. I want to go into medicine, and my parents are pushing me towards those 7 year things, which I'm not all too interested in. So, I would appreciate some input on strong math-science undergraduate schools, as well as some medical programs to make the rents happy. thanks.</p>

<p>What do you want from a school beyond solely academics (i.e. location, size, urban/suburban/rural, etc)? And what schools did you and your guidance counselor come up with?</p>

<p>good question, the school doesn't have to be huge, but i do want a moderately sized class. i would like it to be in a city or as close to one as possible. ny, philly, and maybe some cities in cali are best. chicago is great too.</p>

<p>we came up with the following</p>

<p>Harvard (only because i went to summer school there and i really liked it. we both understand it's a reach)
Penn
Columbia
Wash U
JHU
Stonybrook (as a safety)</p>

<p>and the following 7 year med schools</p>

<p>northwestern, brown, gwu, nyu, union, brooklyn college/downstate</p>
