<p>Take away your duke tip stuff, since I assume you did that in 7th grade like the rest of us. I don’t understand why you want people to suggest you schools, but your list seems pretty doable, though I don’t know how competitive bachelors/MD programs are. If you were to apply to all of those schools regularly, you’d probably get in to most of them except UPenn (Reach).</p>

<p>Duke TIP summer program was between 10th and 11th grade. But yeah I won’t include the Duke TIP grand recogniton, I just thought it might be helpful for Duke.</p>

<p>I’m just discouraged by people who are getting rejected from many programs, and by many of the really well qualified students I’ve met who I’m competing with, so I’m trying to create a reasonable list of schools to apply to.</p>

<p>Thanks though</p>

<p>Wash U is kind of unpredictable in their admissions. I know a girl with 3.2 who got in, but my friend with a much higher GPA and extracurriculars got turned down. It’s a great school, though. Nearly all the colleges in the St. Louis area have great pre-med programs, but Wash U is the best.</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ll still apply, but I’ll keep other options open.</p>

<p>Anyone else</p>

<p>God you have more energy than a jackrabbit…</p>

<p>From what I have seen, it looks like you would be a good match for UT Austin (maybe even a safety), Johns Hopkins, UNC, looks perfectly fine to me. You have a pretty darn high GPA, and most of the colleges on your list look plenty reasonable. </p>

<p>Chance back please.</p>

<p>Thanks, I chanced you back</p>

<p>UPenn has a pretty interesting Vagelos Scholars Program if you’re interested in that. I was accepted into that a couple years ago but decided to come to Princeton. UPenn has a fairly high acceptance rate compared to other highly competitive schools.</p>

14

<p>Thanks I’ll look into that.</p>
