Should I am higher?

<p>mathis, You will be a person of interest to many selective schools. No guarantees, of course, but there’s nothing in your profile to keep you out of any college in America and a lot that will get you in!</p>

<p>First, be clear on the finances. Most likely you will qualify for a good chunk of need-based financial aid. Ask your parents to use an on line net price calculator to give you an idea of how much aid you might be eligible for. If that works, you can continue with a wide ranging list.</p>

<p>(If you’re a junior, you should also contact QuestBridge. If you’re a senior, I think it’s too late.)</p>

<p>There are oodles of very good small liberal arts colleges in the midwest and northeast. Many of them have strong track records in getting their students into medical school. Many of them actively recruit high achieving non-Whites. They will want to hear from you. </p>

<p>Small LACs vary considerably in personality and environment, so do some research on their characteristics like location (city/suburban/rural) and other attributes like sports, politics, Greek presence etc. Once you find one or two that appeal to you, you can find others in the same general personality type.</p>

<p>I can name a few to get you started, but really there are quite a few choices: Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Hamilton, Kenyon, Grinnell, Carleton.</p>
