<p>So I feel like my list is lacking in safeties. The issue is that I want to go somewhere prestigious and 'good,' so I don't want to just apply to University of Whatever, because if I got in, I wouldn't ever want to go.</p>
<p>I'm going to be a senior, my basic stats are 2350 SAT, 800 Bio, 790 Chem, 740 Spanish, 770 Math II.
I'm taking basically the most rigorous course schedule I can at my private prep school, I have a GPA (unweighted) of 93.7 (sorry, I know it's weird).
I've worked in a biology lab the past 2 summers, last summer at BU, this summer at Harvard. I also volunteer weekly at a local hospital. </p>
<p>I know I want to go pre-med and be able to do high level research.</p>
<p>My list so far:
Johns Hopkins
Georgetown
Notre Dame **
Harvard
Wash U
Duke
Emory
Rochester **
Holy Cross **
Stanford
Penn</p>
<p>** denotes schools that I think may be easier to get in to than others. Both of my parents went to ND, and many others in my family also are domers.</p>
<p>So, any suggestions for more schools that will be sure bets for admissions? At the risk of sounding cocky, I know I'm a competitive applicant for schools like JHU and Emory, but I want to apply to at least one school that I'm almost positive I can get in to. Help?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
