Applying to College
1

<p>So I'm about to start my senior year in a few days and i really want to apply to premed accelerated programs in the US or even good school such as rice, UT Austin, Michigan State;however, I know that they are extremely competitive and I am not in the top ten %. What can I do to compensate for my rank? I know i will be receiving great recommendation letters and that my essays will be amazing. What else can I do now for colleges( even if they are not accelerated) to increase my likelihood? Thank You</p>

<p>Beemo your stats are excelent, including your rank. </p>

<p>Michigan state is a safety for you, and UT admission is likely. Rice is a bit tougher but you are competitive. GL</p>
