im for sure applying to smu, baylor, rice, UT and tulane, but i dont know what other colleges to apply to. i’d really appreciate feedback on what kinds of schools i have a shot at!
i’m looking for a college with good pre med/research opportunities, preferably not too conservative/overtly religiously affiliated, in a safe town.

stats:
GPA: 3.88/4.0 unweighted
Rank: top 24% ish (large, competitive public school)
SAT: 2240
Going to take ACT next week; i go a 34 on my practice test yesterday so im anticipating a good score
Pakistani female going into pre-med with a biology-related major
Residency: TX

APs taken so far: World history (5), English language(5), Spanish language(5), Physics I (3), Human geo (5) US Gov, Macro
Senior schedule: AP Chem, AP Lit, AP Calc AB, student leadership honors, academic decathlon honors, research honors

Volunteering: ~200 hours
Awards: NSE gold, DECA stuff, ap scholar with distinction, some in-school stuff (academic excellence, english award, etc.)

ECs:
-NHS
-theatre (have been part of 10 ish plays, out of those i’ve had leadership positions in about half)
-have chaired a few educational campaigns this year (one for cultural awareness, another for religious tolerance)
-research and awareness project on health care for the impoverished
-part of an international studies magnet program within my school
-summer writing workshop at rice (not selective)
-selective pre-health summer program at Baylor

there are others (DECA, HOSA, model UN, current events club), but i don’t think im going to list them on my app since i havent been super involved in them.

any help is appreciated!

Maybe apply to Rice as a reach and University of Texas (good chances). Texas A&M or Baylor might be good too

If you want to go far maybe the UCs or try WashU or Northwestern (slight reaches)
WashU and Northwestern are good for premeds
Good luck!!

what do you mean by “leadership position” in a play?

@collegebobollege i assistant directed one play, stage managed two others and led the makeup crew for another

Ah okay. I would suggest you play that up because you somewhat lack leadership otherwise

These schools may be more successful than average in furthering the goals of their premed students: “The Experts’ Choice: Colleges With Great Pre-med Programs.” (Available online.) You can match a few of them to your other preferences as a way of rounding out your list.
