<p>I would like to know which schools would be appropriate in accordance to these statistics and resume. I'm constantly searching for other resumes to match mine but this would help me better locate things I need before I apply.</p>

<p>I'm working on test scores and trying to get a good score. What score would be enough to get in and a good scholarship for both ACT and SAT?</p>

<p>This is pretty much everything that I have done over my high school years. I would really appreciate it if you guys told me what you thought, and what I can do to increase my chances. Thank you so much.</p>

<p>If you have any questions please fire away.</p>

<p>Majors of Interest: Biology, Chemistry, Pre-Medicine, BS/MD Programs

<p>Do you think I may have a fair chance of getting into any of these schools:</p>

<p>Columbia University
Cornell University<br>
Emory University
Johns Hopkins University *** Dream School!!
Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education
Drexel University
Emory University
Howard University
New York University
Boston University
Stony Brook University
Nova Southeastern
Sienna College
Spelman College
The College of New Rochelle
Georgetown
Bingmington
Quinnipac </p>

<p>Thank you and I appreciate those of you take the time to read and reply to this discussion!</p>

<p>You have an awesome repertoire of ECs. Having said that, you grades do not support those. If you can break 30 ACT or 2000 SAT, I think you have a decent shot at some colleges. </p>

<p>As of now this is my prediction:</p>

<p>Columbia University - High Reach
Cornell University - High Reach
Emory University - High Reach
Johns Hopkins University - High Reach
Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education - High Reach
Drexel University - High Match
Howard University - Match
New York University - Reach
Boston University - Reach
Stony Brook University - High Match
Georgetown - High Match
Bingmington - I think you meant SUNY Binghamton - Match
Quinnipac- Match</p>

<p>I omitted some schools due to my ignorance of the actual institutions. But there you have it. </p>

<p>Thank you, this is very helpful!</p>
