<p>Hi, I really haven't looked into too deeply which colleges I can get into, so I was wondering if people could give my some ideas, at some suitable colleges..</p>
<p>My Stats:</p>
<p>Gpa- 92, 98 W
SATs:2200
APs: Bio, World, US, Physics, Stats, English Language,/ Next year I'm taking: Calc BC, Chem, Physics C, English Literature, and possibly 1 or 2 more, depending on the openness of my schedule. (Projected all 5's maybe a 4 or 2).
EC's:Hospital Volunteering, Math, Spanish, English, National Honor societies, Math Team, Science Olympiads, Political Awareness Club (President), Academic Quiz Bowl, Interact, Engineering Club, various small community service events.</p>
<p>Interest: I want to be a doctor, so yeah a good pre med program would be nice</p>
<p>What do you want out of a college and what are finances like for you?</p>
<p>I want a strong education, and money is pretty good, but I’m not gonna blow 40 grand on a not so great education.</p>
<p>BU has a 6-year BS/MD program, which might be good for you. I’d say you have a shot at some of the most selective schools, but you should probably back them up with a state school or, for instance, a less-selective school with an “Honors College” option (many universities offer this, to attract elite students, and they often provide attractive perks and merit scholarships). Do you want a traditional “campus” atmosphere? Do you prefer an urban or suburban/rural setting? People usually associate strong pre-med programs with larger research universities, but some smaller, liberal arts schools offer good science curricula, if you want a more close-knit community. Your stats are impressive, and you will undoubtedly get into a very strong, competitive college. I suggest that you decide on other factors you want, in order to whittle your list down. You should start with the “College Search” feature on this website, and start entering your stats and preferences. Since finances aren’t an insurmountable obstacle, you should start planning some road-trips for next summer (and spring vacation). If family members seem reluctant, try to combine college visits with other attractions in a region (e.g. ballparks, theater festivals, etc.).</p>
