<p>I'm a rising junior, ranked #1 out of 700,
2060 SAT (1390 CR & Math) (going to retake), 780 USH SAT II
Current GPA of 4.98, 3.98ish UW, probably about 5.4 when I graduate
13 or 14 APs by end of senior yr, so far I've taken AP USH and Psych and got 5s, 3 or 4 dual enrollment classes, all A's</p>

<p>A lot of academic awards, strong but not completely outstanding ECs (mostly school and church leadership), 500 volunteer hrs projected</p>

<p>I want to go into medicine. I'll get 100% bright futures, plus a few other scholarships
Should I aim to attend UF or try to get into a more selective/ivy league school?</p>

<p>I would try for more selective schools, your resume is very strong, depending on which schools you apply the SAT will be weak but for UF its very strong. You would have great shots at alot of top schools-NYU/USC etc etc. Why not try applying to top schools, what do you have to lose?</p>

<p>Well, you MIGHT want to try to save as much money for medical school as possible, since undergrad doesn’t matter as much… </p>

<p>So apply to other schools, but remember: If you don’t get the money you need from them, UF might (and probably will) be your best option.</p>

<p>I’d aim higher than UF. I’m from Florida so I know that it’s a good school. A number of my classmates are going there and I got in but choose not to. You have such good scores that you can probably get a pretty good scholarship elsewhere if money is the main factor. Good luck and apply to some tough schools. :)</p>
