FYI: Pre-Med is not a major.
You look like a competitive applicant.

Stanford: Reach for everyone
UCLA/UCB: High Match/Match
USC/UCSB/UCD: Match
Can you afford the California UC’s at $55K/year?

3

Don’t LOL you are pretty much a match for Cornell. Stanford is a reach but you’re just as qualified as anybody.

4

U of Chicago is a high match/low reach

5

Bumppp
Please chance me, I’ll chance back!

6

You seem like a really competitive applicant, I agree with the above. Otherwise, I think you have a good shot everywhere.

Okay! Does anyone have any thoughts on my chances for getting merit based scholarships at USC? Thank you all for the feedback!
