ACT/SAT scores
just took it definitely getting over 28 on ACT and not sure if i’m going to take SAT

Im hoping on going on to pre-med and majoring in biochemistry, biomedical sciences, or bio-molecular physics.

Here are some schools that I want to know my chances of getting in:

Johns Hopkins
Georgetown
Columbia, Princeton, U Penn, or Yale ( IVY schools…)
Emory
Baylor
Amherst
Duke
U Chicago
George Washington University

Just want to know where I stand and what are my chances based of my numbers.

Need more info, background, Ethnicity, income, first gen???

Im African American, I am first gen, i have 8 siblings and income is around 85000-90000 a year for our houshold

your background is great, make that a pulling point in your essays. your ACT can’t be sitting at just above a 28, try to get it in the upper 30s range. your GPA is great but course load is not as great, and what i’m suggesting is no doubt expensive and not financially healthy for your household, but try to do more ECs (programs, classes, interns etc.) that are related to bio-sciences

5

if you do that, you’ll have strong chances at most of your school picks, except the top 5 ivies…

6

Very smart list. Says a lot about your world sense.
Reach: JonHop, Ivies except maybe Dartmouth, UChicago
Target: Emory, GWU, Georgetown (Amherst?, maybe safety)
Safety: Baylor

Like previously mentioned, your background is your best ally right now. Use it to your advantage and you have a solid chance of being admitted into an Ivy.

@Testtaker16
Lol so you were going to leave out the fact that you’re URM.
A 28 is still low. So we’ll have to see. But I’ll go with that score, as most people don’t score as week as they think they will. Come back when your ACT score posts. I’m also assuming you’re applying RD to all of these schools.

Johns Hopkins- Reach
Georgetown- Low Reach/ Reach
Columbia, Princeton, U Penn, or Yale ( IVY schools…)- Reach/ High Reach
Emory- Low Reach/ Reach
Baylor- Match
Amherst- Reach
Duke- Reach
U Chicago- Reach
George Washington University- Safety/ Low Match

You need more safety schools, and maybe a few matches.
