What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a to-be junior in High School next year. I want to one day be a Neurosurgeon and have been looking towards the future. I want to attend a top university, with a good science department and pre-medical program. I hope this will in turn contribute to me getting into a top medical school. The colleges I have been looking at are:
Stanford University
Baylor University
Cornell University
Duke University
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Michigan State
Grand Valley State University
Albion College
University of Chicago
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
Georgetown
John Hopkins University
Ohio State
Northwestern University</p>

<p>As you can see, I am having quite a bit of trouble slimming down my options. Hopefully you guys can help me with this. Here is a little about me:
I live in Michigan
GPA (Weighted): 3.99
Unweighted GPA: Approx 3.7-3.8
Accelerated/AP Classes:
AP US History ; Acc Geo ; Acc Alg 2 ; Acc English 10 ; Global Education
Future Classes: AP Bio , AP Chem , Acc English 11 , AP English 12 , Acc Analysis , AP Calculus , AP Gov

<p>By application time, I should be at over a 4.0 and maybe even a 4.1.. unweighted probably a 3.8-3.9. I am very driven and will do whatever it takes to make myself successful. If you need any more info let me know!</p>

<p>Thats about it.. let me know what you guys think and what universities you'd recommend/think I have a chance at!</p>

<p>I need your SATs to chance you. And somehow I don't think that the snowboarding/ski club nor float building will really impress people.</p>

<p>You've listed basically the most competitive premed and med programs out there. You'll need to be pretty stellar to get in.</p>

3

<p>I understand some of my ECs might be worthless.. just thought I would list everything I have done thus far.</p>

<p>Any other opinions at which schools I have a good chance at? Be honest!
Thanks!</p>

<p>and I haven't taken the PSAT/SAT/ACT yet, that is to come this year. thanks!</p>

<p>And I can't figure out how to edit my first post, but I am also interested in Rice University.. and if this could count as a EC.. I played soccer in Tokyo, Japan on the top youth academy in the country (F.C. Tokyo Youth Club) as well as stayed with a host family for 3 weeks.</p>

<p>anyone?
Bump!</p>

6

<p>do you have any chance of playing college soccer?</p>

7

<p>Probably not and I wasn't planning on it. I want to apply to Top schools, and first division is extremely competitive. Also, I will be pretty caught up with school work in Pre-Med.</p>

<p>Hey! I was considering being a neurosurgeon too! XD. If you do well on your SATs/ACTs like... at least 2200+/ 32+ (not familiar with ACT stuff), get some good leadership positions and show strength in thing's you really like to do on your application then I think you would have a pretty good chance at most of the schools you listed. I'm not sure about Stanford, JHU, Cornell and Duke though, they are tough. good luck :D</p>
