Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>so im a high school junior right now and i really am not sure where to start when it comes time to start applying next year. Any feed back would be helpful.
My stats:
rank: 82/698 (top 11.7)
GPA: 5.29 on 6.0 and 3.7 on 4.0
Always took honors classes when offered
SAT: unknown right now but predicting around 2200 based on practice
Tennis team (planning on 3 years JV, 1 year varsity)
Debate team ( 1 year novice, 3 years Varsity + 2 year UIL district)
officer in animal shelter club- 4 years
officer in African Libraries Project Club - 2 years
Spanish National Honor Society- 2 years
and hopefully National Honor Society, we haven't gotten the chance of applying yet.
SAT 2s: bio M:770
APs: bio 5; world history 3 :/
Worked in a Gastroenterologist's office for about a year or so.
100 hours so far in hospital more pending
I am also planning on starting with a research group at MD anderson. </p>

<p>I am a hundred and fifty percent sure of going into medicine in the future and would like to go somewhere with a strong premed. program. I am not particular about going out of state or staying in; it really doesn't matter to me. Anything that you guys have to say about this?</p>

<p>Here’s a quick List as to what i have been thinking about lately:
-Texas A&M
-UT Austin
-Rice
-Emory
-Vanderbilt
-Dartmouth </p>

<p>I think the last four are somewhat of a reach because of my rank.
Also, how far does having a parent with an alumni status go at a school? thanks</p>

<p>Improve your rank
and those schools will be in low match
chance me</p>

4

<p>okay, anything else? or any other school suggestions that i might want to consider?</p>

<p>Chances are pretty good. Rice and Dartmouth seem a little high, but not unreachable with great essays, interviews, etc.
Chance me please!: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/781830-oxbridge-ivy-league-others-promise-ill-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/781830-oxbridge-ivy-league-others-promise-ill-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>oh and johns hopkins</p>

<p>Rice, Darthmouth, and JHU are high reaches since your GPA/rank is not very good. If you can get a 2200, your chances will go up since your ec’s are pretty good. GL!</p>

<p>How far do alumni stats go? because my dad has harvard and northwestern (business)
What about Emory and Vanderbilt?</p>

<p>Alumni parents help, but how much exactly depends on the school. I’ve heard Georgetown would give a SAT scorer of 2000 priority over a 2200er, with the right alumni connections.</p>
