Ohio State</p>

<p>None of these schools are matches but more reaches can be Brandeis, BC, Rochester (all really good for science). </p>

<p>RPI is also a good science/engineering school that would be considered a match school, high match, but match nonetheless. BU also has good science programs.</p>

3

<p>so, i would have a better shot a bc than michigan?
would bu be a match?</p>

4

<p>Michigan is more highly regarded (though they are overlapping schools). However, they are both similar with regard to selectivity and I think you would have similar chances of acceptance at both schools. </p>

<p>I would consider BU a match, though a competitive match. Try raising that ACT, if you can pull off a 30 I would call BU a solid match.</p>

5

<p>my subscores were 29,29,26,29 if that raises chances
any LAC's that are matches?</p>

6

<p>bump^ I need more advice, i'm so lost</p>

7

<p>UIUC and Wisconsin-Madison would be a slight reaches worth considering.</p>

<p>Michigan State and UC-Boulder would be good matches.</p>

8

<p>BC would not be a match. It has gotten quite competitive to get in there</p>

9

<p>any LAC recommendations as matches?</p>

10

<p>You could try to look into Lawrence in Appleton, WI. Its a LAC, but is very small (less than 3000 kids). They have a strong science program and are close enough to UW-Madison that it might not seem like you're in a too-small school.</p>

11

<p>O_O ***? what system does your school use? your weighted gpa is out of 8?!!</p>

12

<p>your weighted gpa is out of 8?!!</p>

<p>yeah
A in a.p=8
A in honors=7
A in regular=6
A in basic=5</p>

13

<p>is colorado boulder a good place to prepare for dentistry?</p>

14

<p>BC would not be a match. It has gotten quite competitive to get in there</p>

<p>were u referring to BU?</p>

15

<p>All good choices. For LAC's Franklin and Marshall is very strong in sciences as is Bates. F&M is a clear match with Bates not far off.</p>
