<p>Anyone have any recommendations for good "Pre-Med" schools in Illinois? I am hoping to major in either biochemistry or Chemistry with a possible Spanish minor.</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>Stats: GPA: 3.8-3.9, 10/169</p>

<p>ACT: estimate of 28; hoping for 30</p>

<p>ECs:
Varisty Soccer (all 4 years)
Outdoor Club (Leadership Position)
Renissance Team (grades)
Students for Students (community service club)
WYSE Team
Fall Play
and many others</p>

<p>Take both the ACT and SAT…some do better on the SAT. </p>

<p>Have you talked to your parents about how much they’ll spend each year on college? your budget may largely determine where you should go to college.</p>

<p>The state of IL has many fine choices from its better state schools to good privates (UChicago ( a reach), Loyola Chicago, DePaul, etc).</p>

<p>Need to get ACT higher, some schools might be out of your range (unless you have a hook). In addition, yes, financial side is not clear, since Merit scholarships might not be there, unless there is improvement in ACT/SAT. UChicago is impossible to get into for very top applicants to Med. School, I do not know about UG.</p>
