<p>I'm an Asian from NC and I would like to have some good safeties just incase I get rejected to all my dreams schools and matches. I am interested in PreMed and would like a Bio Major. I would consider anything between UNC Chapel Hill and NCSU. PLEASE PUBLIC ONLY! And Virginia is already on my list of matches.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Can you afford to pay full price for an OOS public? If not, many privates offer merit money that can make the school more affordable than public would be. Why not apply to some and see what you get?</p>
<p>My parents can afford WashU, Cornell, JHU, UPenn, Vandy if we get a low-fair amount of financial aid. My parents won’t let me apply to colleges which aren’t flagship or have a good educational background. I would like something on the east coast - Midwest with a good pre med program. AND HIGHER THAN STATE BUT LOWER THAN CHAP. Please I not going west, because that’s too far</p>
<p>Name some please and bump :D</p>

<p>If you have the stats for the schools listed in #3, you are probably in with a big scholarship to the University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa (a flagship).</p>
<p>It is possible that your parents’ restrictions (allowing only high prestige/selectivity schools) can prevent you from applying to any safeties, putting you at risk of being shut out.</p>
<p>I know that if I keep up my work I’ll get into Chapel Hill. Like maybe University of Miami? I heard they are good with pre med. Choose any school between Chapel Hill and NCSU on the Usnews rankings and I’ll consider it. I jus want a list and I’ll cross colleges out as I do more in depth research</p>
<p>VCU is supposed to have a great premed program-so I’ve heard</p>
<p>You need to broaden your parents’ perspective regarding colleges. They might not think highly of ECU, but do they know that ECU has an assurance medical admission for accomplished entering freshmen? Yes, that’s East Carolina, far below NCSU! You would get a spot in the medical school along with a decent scholarship. Frankly, if being a physician is what you want, this deal is better than getting to any of the schools on your list.</p>
<p>I can’t see myself as going to ECU. It is a party school and I am very active socially (having friends ranging from lax bros to geniuses). I just can’t see myself going there. I know that the medical side of ECU is nursing and I’m interested in being a physician so I don’t think that would help. Im also interested in research if I have a change in heart… But I am confident I will get into UNC Chapel Hill. Thanks for your comments and see you all in the near future!</p>
<p>If you are certain that you will be in at UNC-CH, then it is your safety if you can afford it.</p>
<p>But are you really that certain that you will be in at UNC-CH? Does it have some sort of assured admissions for your stats, or does your high school’s Naviance indicate that your stats are well within the range of admits, with no rejections anywhere close to your stats?</p>
<p>3.8 GPA, 10+ ECs, predicted 31-34 ACT, 10APs by the time I graduate. Class rank of 123/700+. Top 50 are people in Calc AB/BC sophomore year. I goto a competitive public high school. We usually send 20+ kids to highly selective schools 30 kids to UNC, 30 kids to state and rest to elsewhere.</p>
<p>Well, it looks like top 80 of your school go to NCSU, UNC-CH, or more selective schools, but you are #123. Looks like you need something safer than NCSU or UNC-CH.</p>
<p>If your parents won’t let you apply to something safer, be prepared for the possibility of being shut out and going to the default safety of community college.</p>
<p>Its not the top 80. And class rank doesn’t matter anymore, because our school took them off our transcript</p>
<p>With those stats, UNC is not a safety. If you get a 33 or a 34 its a low match-match at best. if you get a 31 or a 32, its a match-high match</p>
<p>I didn’t mean that it was a safety. I’m in state so that’s one plus and I meant that I have a high chance of getting into UNC or atleast NCSU</p>
<p>In any case, if they are not safeties, but your parents will not let you apply to anything safer, you will not be able to apply to any safeties.</p>
