<p>john, You are asking the same thing. Good schools do not look past academics. When thousands of kids are applying to each college, it’s essential for admissions to have a standard criteria set. Parents have given you recommendations for safeties and matches. We’ve done research for you and rearranged your list to fit a better reach, match, safety order. What you do need to understand is that you own your high school gpa and ACT/SAT scores. They are a reflection of you and your high school history. To assume that colleges are going to disregard them and admit you because you feel that you have potential is wrong. I’m not saying that you’re not college material or not capable of pursuing your dream of becoming a doctor. What we are all trying to tell you is that you need to be a bit more grounded in your choices. Go back a read the links that were in your other thread which state the freshman profiles of the schools you have mentioned. People have given you more than enough information on this subject for you to go back and rearrange your list to better fit safety, match, and reach. You may not like the fact that certain schools are out of reach but that is the reality of it.</p>
