<p>science, </p>

<p>I'm also a NJ resident, with very similar stats as you, and I am looking to apply to UCLA. Let me know how you do. I'd say Rutgers is a shoe in for you, and I think UC Davis should be pretty safe too, but who knows. The others I'm not too sure, but I'm sure you got a good shot.</p>

3

<p>Cool. Is UC Davis generally better in bio then Rutgers?</p>

4

<p>bump</p>

<p>I got into RU today. At least im in for something next year.</p>

5

<p>Hey :) I think you're good for McGill and U of T! </p>

<p>best of luck</p>

6

<p>Cool. Are you at McGill right now? How do you like it? Did you grow up in America?</p>

7

<p>No further input?</p>

8

<p>hey, I am also applying to University of Toronto and Mcgill, and I have the same SAT score as you. I think you have good chances at those schools.</p>

9

<p>That's good to hear.</p>

10

<p>UCD has a very good biology program, it is the largest major at this school. You could also think about schools like Stanford and Caltech, who also have good biology programs.</p>

11

<p>In everywhere but Berkeley.</p>

12

<p>Do I even have a remote chance at Berk?</p>

<p>Are the UCSD or UCD biology programs better then the biology program at Rutgers?</p>

13

<p>Yes UCD and UCSD have a better biology program than Rutegers.</p>

14

<p>I know UCSD has a very good biology program, and I think their biotech program is one of the top in the country.</p>

15

<p>Thanks for the replies. Something to think about if I actually get in.</p>
