<p>What are you looking for in a school (size, location)? </p>

<p>In terms of ILoveNewYork’s response, the reach and target schools are good. However, I would not say many of the safeties are appropriate. William and Mary (OOS), Wesleyan, and Wake Forest are all too competitive to be considered true safeties.</p>

<p>Thanks iLoveNewYork15, but what could I do to make those reach schools more likely? In other words, what’s holding me back?</p>

<p>Kind of depends on what field of study you want to go into. schools differ in the caliber of their programs. let us know.</p>

<p>I’m interested in school with high acceptance rates to medical school.</p>

7

<p>Tufts and Holy Cross get around 85% of applicants into medical school.</p>

<p>while you’ve got some good stats, i think you’re putting the cart before the horse…the question is: what school would be a good fit for me, not here’s my stats, now let’s pick a school. what are you looking for? big, small, urban, suburban, rural, greek life, strong liberal arts or interest in one specific area, professorial contact, co-op programs, internships, block classes, 4-1-4 program, warm, cool, or cold weather okay, n, s, e, or west, distribution requirements or not, major name brand or do you think outside the box, need-blind, is money an issue, religious affiliation, etc.etc.etc…</p>
