<p>My high school stats are 90.0GPA, 1500SAT I, 760 on chemSATII and Math IIC, and 660 on writing..
various extra curriculurs including club positions, intel research, volunteering at a hospital, wrestling team for a year, and work with my parents company for a long time.. plus a bunch of other stuff</p>

<p>Columbia - pre med
NYU - premed
GW - premed or gauranteed medical
JHU - premed
Cornell - premed
Union - gauranteed MD/MBA
BU - gauranteed medical
Rutgers - gauranteed medical with UMDNJ

<p>90.0 gpa? what the...</p>

3

<p>he means 90%/100%, that translates to about a 4.0ish or higher i think. are you a freshman this year?</p>

4

<p>i will be a freshman this year...
I'm graduating for high school this month.. and am set on transferring out of the school into one I listed above..</p>

5

<p>also.. just for my clarification..</p>

<p>how does the 4.0 scale even work?..
I heard that the professors grade on the A, B+, etc scale but you still get a gpa out of 4.0..</p>

<p>thanks again</p>

<p>Some schools just have A/B/C, etc. and that works like A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, etc. </p>

<p>Other schools have started to use the grading system with pluses and minuses, and that works like A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C=2.0, etc.</p>

<p>You might also want to call the universities and see if you can even transfer into the guaranteed bs/md programs before you try since those are probably for incoming freshmen only.</p>

<p>as for the premed schools or other similar schools with strong premedical programs.. what GPA should I aim for?..
and what are those schools other than Johns Hopkins, NYU, and Columbia that have a strong premedical?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>No school has a pre-med major. Any top university or LAC is good for applying to medical school. Generally the more prestigious the better, but choose a school where you can still get a high GPA. You should always aim for 4.0. In transfer I'd think you'd need at least a 3.6, higher if you're trying to compensate for high school work.</p>
