<p>in addition to all the science stuff, i like working with computers --> mainly some graphic design stuff</p>

<p>Schools I'm Thinking of:</p>

<p>Harvard

MIT --> i like science, but i dont know if i would be happy here --> opinions
Stanford --> only school i would leave for other than GWU Med.
New York University BA/MD
Columbia --> either the college or Fu School of applied sciences (not sure)
Northwestern
George Washington University BA/MD
Brown is a possibility
Union College in NY</p>

<p>I know my list only inclusive of the top schools. If anyone could recommend some others, I'd greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>Just to help, I would like a school:</p>

<p>in or near a city
not too large
preferably one with chem and biomedical engineering because those are the two fileds that interest me most out of the ones listed.
one with some diversity, though this is not a key factor</p>

<p>I Know the post is long, but can someone please help me? thanks in advance again.</p>

<p>first, i'd say you're a genius. YOu're the kind of material good unis will run after anyday.</p>

<p>yeah, your choices are cool, but i'll also recommend WUSTL, and Princeton is also at the forefront in biomed/eng research. Great places to be in. </p>

<p>If you're ready to take a long trip down, go to USC or UC at Berkeley.</p>

<p>Great places with numerous opportunities for a great personality such as you.</p>

<p>Give them a try.
Go for them, or they'll more likely come for you.</p>

<p>G'bye.</p>

3

<p>you are ivy bound</p>

4

<p>haha, no princeton. i'm from new york, after 17 years here there is no way i'm moving to jersey</p>

5

<p>then go to MIT,
they're waiting to grab the likes of you;
or stick to Penn.</p>

<p>truth: you can make it anywhere you want, even in the lowest ranked uni.
it all boils down to attitude.</p>

6

<p>or better still, try Caltech,
good for exceptional students such as you.
great place if you are considering Stanford, switch to Caltech</p>

7

<p>Case Western is not in the NE but its bioengineering program is at least as good as any that you have listed, and you probably would not have to pay tuition.</p>

<p>thanks guys..appreciate it</p>

15

<p>I think your stats sound very good but I also think that you have a good chance since you're black. </p>

<p>You are (most likely) gonna get into whatever school you apply to. G'luck.</p>

<p>Oh and UPenn is my first choice too. I'm a junior... It scares me to think I'll be competing with people who have your type of scores come next year when I send in my ap...</p>
