So Where to Now?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>High School Junior here, I'll try and keep this short and sweet. Given my scores, what schools are my reach, safety, and whatever you call the schools where admittance is only somewhat probable?</p>

<p>Long Term Goal - Med School
Major - Chemistry
Minor - History
Home State - Indiana</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>AP WORLD - 4
AP EURO - 4
AP COMP SCI - 4
AP CALC AB - 5*
AP CHEM - 5*
AP PHYSICS B - 5*
AP MACRO - 4*
IB English - Irrelevant?* - See below
IB History - Irrelevant?* - Exam taken well after college admissions</p>

<p>SAT - 2120, will retake and expecting a 2200 at least
ACT - Not yet taken, projecting a 33
PSAT - No National Merit Stuff</p>

<p>EC'S:</p>

<p>250+ Hours of Volunteering at Physical Therapy Center
1 Year as Robitcs Team Website Co-Lead
3 Years as Advisory Board Member of Politics Club
Work Experience as a Website Designer
3 Years Model UN Co-President
60 Hours Peer Tutoring Math
Potentially Summer Research at Project SEED or comparable program*</p>

<p>*Not yet taken, but based on class performance/my mystic ball of fate</p>

<p>Freshman Year - All Honors w/ 1 AP, mostly B+'s first semester and about 50/50 B+ A- second
Sophomore Year - All Honors w/ 2 AP, mostly A-'s both semesters
Junior Year - 4 AP, 2 IB, All A's and 2 A-'s first semester, targeting all A's second</p>

<p>Brief summaries of my courses for each year, as I'm low on time and from what I can tell, it is the general trend that matters most</p>

<p>Finally, I've traditionally had A's in math/science classes with, with Honors, AP, and Organic Chem under my belt</p>

<p>Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>Well, I don’t know exactly which schools you were looking into, but I’d say you fit in somewhere between upper-level state schools (eg. UC Berkeley) and more well known schools like Harvard, Yale, etc. Even an SAT 2200 is too low for Ivies, but it’s enough for some other really great schools.
Chance me?

<p>You would go to the upper tier schools like @Dzheims mentioned

<p>Perhaps your budget and your intended major, for a start (and, if you want to narrow down somewhat more, regional preferences and college size preferences)</p>

<p>My parents could financially afford to pay for my college out of state, and I’d be willing to take out some student loans. I’d prefer to go out of state, I just don’t know where to look.</p>

<p>Med School is the goal so go for Stanford, Duke, UPenn, Pitt, UNC etc
chance please

<p>Prestige matters little for med school admissions. </p>

<p>UMinn: Low match
UIUC: Match
Berkeley: Match/High match
UCLA: Match/High match
UPenn: Reach</p>

<p>What’s your problem with IU Bloomington? Strong enough in chemistry to prepare you well for med school…</p>

<p>I guess I’d rather not stay in Indiana, weather and probably the away-from-parents experience I suppose. IU Bloomington accepts basically anybody from Indiana, and it bothers me that I had to put forth effort into getting good grades and whatnot and still be in the same classes as some of the borderline dropouts at my own high school</p>
