<p>wow. I'm also going into pre-med and majoring in neuroscience. but anywho....</p>

<p>I would reccomend that you adjust your college list. Most of the colleges on your list are reaches (some most likely unattainable). </p>

<p>UCB = reject
UCLA = reject
Yale = reject
Stanford = reject
jhu = unlikely/reach
USC = low match.</p>

<p>Your SAT score is way to low. Even a 2100 is below average for Yale, and stanford. Also, UCB and UCLA are hard to get into if you are out of state (even with a 2100). </p>

<p>adjust your list. good luck :)</p>
