I have the hardest time making decisions. Any ideas where I should apply?

<p>Hey guys. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me decide where else I should apply this year. I applied to Cornell, Tulane, and Northeastern. I applied to Cornell early decision, and I REAAALLY want to go there because the program I am applying to is a good fit. I just want to be prepared in case I do not get the desired result. I was accepted to my second choice, Tulane and am still waiting to hear back from Northeastern. My list right now includes Boston College, BU, Colgate, U of Pitt, and UPENN (for nursing) Any ideas about where else I should consider?</p>

<p>My plans for the future are going the Premed route (possibly Prevet as well!) What I find attractive about Cornell and Tulane is their strong life sciences programs as well as their reputation as very preprofessional. This does not mean I am necessarily looking for a research institution though. I am pretty flexible when it comes to size (I do not want anything HUGE though like say, a Penn State) and location (urban, rural, or suburban). I do know I would like to stay on the East Coast / Mid Atlantic? Money is not an issue for me right now (but it will be an important factor if I have to choose between schools) </p>

<p>I would love any suggestions for any other schools I should maybe consider. I already got into Tulane, so I am not looking for safeties per se (I am applying to SUNYS and CUNYS as financial safeties) I am looking for a few more match schools as well as reaches (to just push my luck) I am really pulling for an early Cornell acceptance, but we'll see. </p>

<p>I will spare you a list of my awards. Just a bunch of athletic/academic stuff. </p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>I would give UVA a look. It is a large school, but not too large. It has great academics and is right there in the mid-atlantic.</p>

<p>shameful bump</p>

<p>You'll get in Northeastern, no problem. Try Clark U., Lehigh, Bucknell, Tufts. Be aware that for getting in med school, a lot of people recommend getting a 3.8 gpa at a lesser college over a 3.3 gpa at a top-notch college like Cornell.</p>

<p>Yeah, I am very much aware of that. If it makes sense, I need a higher intensity environment to do my best. If I feel the pressure, I really push myself. I dunno. Thanks for the suggestions though!</p>

<p>Do you think I have a decent/good shot at Cornell?</p>

<p>bump. Please.</p>
