<p>i feel a little repetitive, and you're all probably tired of seeing these posts, but i'm quite unsure of what to do.
i'm a senior, at a public high school that's not very competitive.
my school doesn't give out class rank/gpa that often,
but last i heard i had a 3.5/3.6+ (this was before my grades increased)
and i'm in the top fifth of my class. (67/400 something.. this was a while ago)
i've been taking APs since sophomore year, getting excellent grades in them.
i'm on Honor Society, Peer Leadership, volunteered all through high school thruogh Girl Scouts, and I am currently volunteering at my local hospital.
My SATs (first time i took them) were 1660 with writing.
I am planning on taking them again, as I am unhappy with my score.</p>
<p>I am aspiring to become a doctor, psychiatry is my goal right now, and I am unsure of where to apply.
I have posted on here before, asking what schools have great psychology programs. I've gotten a lot of recommendations, but I am not sure exactly where I "fit" </p>
<p>Friends and family have told me to look at some more selective schools that I believe I have no chance of getting into. Where should I look? Right now, I'm seriously considering Rutgers in New Jersey, (I am a jersey resident) because of their med programs. I want to look also in the Boston area, but I don't know what my chances are for Boston U. I would love to apply to more selective colleges, but I do not know if it would be worth it.</p>
<p>Please, any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
thank you all.</p>
