<p>Can you please chance me institutions listed above</p>

2

<p>I’d say you are pretty much set</p>

3

<p>Not even close to “all set.”
While he’s a good candidate, these programs are among the most competitive the country.
His chase of Admission is 10% or less. </p>

4

<p>Hope you know that Brown isn’t a 7 year program…</p>

<p>@livyluhu I thought it was…<a href=“College Lists Wiki / 6, 7, 8 yrs BA_MD or BS_MD or Joint Degree, Direct Medical, Guaranteed Medical Admission programs”>College Lists Wiki / College Lists Wiki News and Information;

6

<p>Did you check the actual Brown website? It’s 8 years. Definitely don’t make that mistake when you apply. </p>

7

<p>You are on the right track and your ECs are great. It would help you if you got your SAT to 2200+ or the equivalent for the ACT. Those are all among the most competitive programs and they are all a low reach for you and anyone.</p>

8

<p>@flvd1996 ok but I think that I can get into the UPitt because i live in the city. Thanks for your input</p>

9

<p>Pitt is a match/low reach but the rest are reaches, work on raising that SAT score</p>

10

<p>Ok, I’m not sure I will be sending the SAT score though since my ACT is better</p>

11

<p>Pitt match/ low reach, rest are reaches, but I say you have a good chance. Maybe have an internship this summer with a local anesthesiologist and it could help.</p>

12

<p>@ninadasiy Yeah I was planning to get a Job Shadow or volunteer with an Anesthesiologist at a nearby hospital.</p>

13

<p>You are into Pitt and have a shot at the rest of them.</p>

14

<p>Pitt is my #1 goal right now because they have a top 15 medical system and they offer a 7 year program</p>

15

<p>Pitt is a match
NU and Duke are lower reaches
the rest are reaches for everyone</p>

<p>Good luck! </p>

<p>Chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1616663-please-chance-me-i-ll-chance-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1616663-please-chance-me-i-ll-chance-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

16

<p>All Ivies are reaches, rest are low reaches (7 year programs are competitive).</p>

<p>Does top 13% indicate you are outside of the top 10%? If so, that definitely hurts, unless your school produces tons of students that go to Ivy or other top colleges.</p>

17

<p>@TheToughGame Yes it does indicate that I am not currently in the top ten. However we have had many students go to top tier schools such as UPenn, Colombia, Notre Dame, UMich, Cornell, GTech, UPitt, PennState, and University of Chicago</p>

18

<p>Even if you do get accepted to those schools, you have to take undergrad studies first and apply to the med school program in late third or during fourth year of undergrad.</p>

<ol>
<li>University of Pittsburgh (Perfect Match)</li>
<li>University of Pennsylvania</li>
<li>Brown University HIGH REACH(only because of acceptance rate. It’s all up to chance)</li>
<li>Northwestern University HIGH REACH(only because of acceptance rate. It’s all up to chance)</li>
<li>Duke University LOW REACH(only because of acceptance rate. It’s all up to chance, but you have a great shot)
Don’t stress you will get into one of them. It just depends which says yes. :smiley: </li>
</ol>

<p>Pittsburgh is definitely a match. For the others, they are basically a reach for everyone. You have the ability to get into Duke, NU, etc., but it comes down to luck a lot of the time. Good luck though!</p>
