<p>I intend to become a doctor, most probably a surgeon, in which field? idk yet. But my first step to that would be to get into a good undergrad school.I plan on doing my med studies in the US. So please could you read my academic resume and let me know what are my chances of getting into the down mentioned Univ and what other Univ u would suggest.
Im in the 11th grade.
current gpa: 3.68 SAT(taking it in Jan- hope good grades :O )
i've taken 5 classes in 11th grade: bio,chem,phy,math and eng. Until 10th grade, in india, we have to take all the subjects, so till 10th grade i took bio,chem,phy,hist,geo,eng,math and hindi.
Extra-curriculars:
Leadership: 9th grade: Student council:junior prefect

<p>Ok so right now thats how my profile looks, i only included the extra curriculars that are worth it, i dint put it anything and everything, but only the ones that have the most credit.</p>

<p>The schools that i'm looking at are
Case western Reserve U, Ohio State U, Boston U, Rutgers, idk what else, do suggest !! :)
Dream schools :NYU, U of Cali(any campus), Emory, North Eastern.
Back up school Loyola U, chicago.</p>

<p>What are your thoughts? i'm super scared. i really want to get in.. i have a good full yr left, to pull up my socks. and oh i was wondering, i know i want to be a doctor, but i do not plan on taking up bio in college, something other than that but bio related. because as an international my acceptance into med school would be diff, i might need more research credit etc so if i dont get in med school, i dont want to be stuck with a degree in bio :P so what are the awesome majors i could take up? And my family and I are not looking for financial aid. :) your suggestions would be so helpful, THANK YOU.</p>

<p>btw, UC schools don’t give financial aid to internationals (almost nothing if they do) so if you need the money, look elsewhere, if not good chances as long as you get a good SAT/ACT score, keep up your xc activities. If you want to become a doc, you should also consider accelerated programs (i.e. 7-8 yr undergrad&med school). i know brown, case western, george washington, and rice has accelerated programs, but obviously they will be really really selective.</p>

<p>heyy, i agree with everything you said, im aiming for a SAT score above 2200. but if i get 2000 and above, ill be the happiest person. good chances ? on a scale of 1-10, rate it?</p>

<p>And also im doing my AP exams and my SAT SUBJECT II Math soon.</p>

<p>It will help once you have your AP and SAT II scores. I don’t think U Chicago is going to be a backup…it’s one of the harder schools to get into in the US. I’d suggest checking out the state quotas, for instance how many people from Ohio have to be in the freshman class (2/3, 4/5 etc). The fact that you are not looking for financial aid will help a great deal as an international student since even some of the most elite schools with billions in endowments sometimes decide international students by financial need. You have strong and diverse ECs which will also help. I think pretty much all these schools will be in reach for you as long as you do well on the APs, SAT IIs, and get your grades higher as you plan to do</p>

<p>heyy, i meant loyola university chicago not u chicago :slight_smile: what do u think of that school? and also AP is not very common in india because our course load is a lot, we have 12 subjects a yr, so AP is not that imp. :slight_smile: thank u.</p>
