<p>My stats are crap compared to others on this board. Anyway what can I expect?</p>

3

<p>bump..............I really need some info on what schools I should apply to.</p>

4

<p>Any more matches?</p>

5

<p>harvard and stanford are reaches
berkeley is a slight reach - out of state
uchicago - match
washingtonu-match?
cornell - slight reach/match
mit - reach, research will help though
ku - safety, right</p>

<p>Agree with whoamg, with one exception. I'd say Wash U is a low reach, but go for it. It's got a superlative pre-med program - among the best in the country. Also, you probably want to add a couple middle level matches - schools like Tufts, Vanderbilt, and Brandeis - and another safety.</p>

7

<p>You are quite accomplished. The fact that you're from a small town in Kansas will really help. Good job overall. I think you will be getting into the majority of your schools.</p>

8

<p>you should consider Northwestern, which you are probably a match for. they have a great med program.</p>
