Ugh... in need of some serious advice

<p>I have a couple of schools in mind that I know I'm going to apply to, but what I'm having trouble finding is more similar schools that would be good matches. It would be great if someone could recommend any other schools in the Midwest area. </p>

<p>Chances? Recommendations? Advice?</p>

<p>A HUGE thank you to anyone who replies.</p>

<p>bump...</p>

<p>anyone?</p>

<p>anyone????</p>

<p>I don't know most of them but I'd say that getting more involved in what you're ALREADY involved in would probably help you. Belonging to a club is easy--stepping it up is harder.</p>

<p>Good luck. =]</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>

<p>WashU as in WUSTL? i think that might be a reach...case western sounds like a match for u</p>

<p>Yeah, out of all of those, WUSTL is my reach. I know I don't stand much of a shot, but it was my favorite place so far. I think with an outstanding essay, I might have an outside shot.</p>

<p>What other places have a similar "feel" to WUSTL?</p>

<p>similiar to WUSTL? hum....brown? cornell? georgetown? those r my best guesses.</p>

<p>oi... i don't know if i can get into any of those even though i have a brown legacy.</p>

<p>bumppppppp</p>

<p>Northwestern is probably a match to slight reach
Chicago (Univ of Chicago) is a match to slight reach and biology is their most-popular major
Carnegie Mellon is a match
Michigan is a match
Ohio State is a safe match, but has a great pre-med program
Wisconsin is a match</p>

<p>How many suggestions did you want?</p>

<p>P.S. Univ of Rochester is just barely outside of the midwest (western New York), but is well-known for their pre-med program.</p>

<p>Does Carnegie Mellon require SAT II's?</p>
