<p>As the title suggest, i intend to major in chemistry and then possibly apply to medical school. Im currently a high school juniro and living in maryland so id like to find a school in the northeast. The furthest south id like to go is virgina. Im looking for a school with less than 5000 people.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.7/4.00 Weighted GPA: 4.3/5 Class Rank: Right around top 25 at a upper level public school in maryland (~400 people in my class) AP Courses at time of application: AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Biology, AP Calculus 1 and 2 AP Chem test score - 5 SAT Score:
680 Math
640 Reading
620 Writing</p>
<p>1940/2400
1320/1600</p>
<p>This was my first time taking it also so the scores should go up</p>
<p>Also got a 800 on the SAT II Subject test in chemistry</p>
<p>*Extracurriculars: *
- Played football all 4 years of high school, varsity football for 2 years
- Math Honor society (3 years)
- Science Honor Society (2 years)
- Volunteered at a soup kitchen
- Voluntereed at a youth weight lifting program where i provided weight training instruction
- National Honor Society (2 years)
- Blood Donor (not sure if this really counts though)
- SGA
- *I applied for an internship at the National Cancer Institute, its called the Werner H. Kirsten Student Intern Program. So for the purposes of this thread lets assume i get it. It involves working full time over the summer and then 3 hours a day during the school year along side a research scientist.</p>
<p>Middlebury has excellent science departments but you would probably have to improve your CR score. You should find good sciences at other top LACs—Colby and Hamilton, for example, might be a little easier to get into. Hopkins has about 4500 undergrads, I think, and you could have a chance with slightly increased scores. Try to visit to tour the science facilities, maybe meet professors and hear about research opportunities and compare the small vs. the mid-size.</p>
<p>I hope that you plan to apply to UMBC and Towson, at least as backups. Bates is definitely worth looking at- strong in sciences and premed, SAT-optional, ranked as a high value school, and having a liberal financial aid program. Goucher may also work for you.</p>
<p>Holy Cross is ranked among the top 10 undergraduate schools nationwide in the number of American Chemical Society certified chemistry graduates.</p>
<p>Would agree that Clark Univ is a good match for you. It doesn’t have a football team, though, so if that is something you were planning to continue in college it might not be the best. It does have an excellent science and pre-med program (I attended Clark and am a physician). Clark is very unique as a small research university in that it offers unparalleled opportunities for undergraduates to get involved in research early on. Your SAT scores and GPA are a definite match. I would encourage you to visit. Tufts is also a great school, but it would be a reach for you based on your current stats.</p>
<p>ClarkAlum - I dont plan on playing football in college. Im definitely going to look into Clark some more and possibly take a visit there when i head up north.</p>
<p>You might consider some good premed schools with Division 3 football, which is much less demanding–Ursinus and Bucknell. Other good small premed schools are Muhlenberg, Clark and Franklin and Marshall. Marist and Lafayette are also worth a look</p>
<p>I second the suggestion for Ursinus. Your stats look like the type of student Ursinus would like, and it meets your criteria. D1 is a chemisty major at Ursinus (but not pre-med), you can pm me if you have specific questions.</p>
