Searching for potential safeties, matches and reaches.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey guys
First of all, i made another thread 3 days ago but barely got any response. I am hoping this thread will have more comments :). </p>

<p>Anyway, i am a Canadian male who is currently going into grade 11 IB(does IB help me in selection process?) program. I am looking to go into pre- med ( preferebly a top 20 pre med school?) but i am not sure what i will major in. As i said in my previous post, i am kind of new to the whole american college finding process and would love some help creating a list of matches, safeties and reaches i should think about when i apply. </p>

<p>Just to give you guys an idea about what kind of student i am</p>

<p>My current SAT score is
Math: 750
Critical Reading -650
Writing-710</p>

<p>Total:2110(I have a few months to study and bump that up to a 2250)</p>

<p>In pre-IB i am fairly sure i was in the top 5% of my class with an average of 90%. Our school does not do ranks. My extra curriculars are nothing amazing but then again i still have a year to improve as much as i can. As far as volunteering goes, i will have about 400 hours when i apply for univ. I have already volunteered for a while at a hospital. As it stands now, i do not need any financial aid and ive been told that may help me in the selection process. </p>

<p>Thanks guys and please give me some potential reaches , matches and safeties.</p>

<p>The reason you aren't getting responses is because you are incredibly vague. All we know is that your an International, have a pretty good SAT score, and you are doing IB.</p>

<p>There really isn't a list of top 20 pre-med schools either. Many would choose to major in biology, chemistry, etc. though. </p>

<p>But since you asked I'll give you a start:</p>

<p>Reach - Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Emory
Match - Boston University, George Washington
Safety - Find a state school that isn't competitive</p>

<p>Some to also possibly look at are Wisconsin, Ohio State, Lawrence, Washington & Jefferson and Wake Forest.</p>
