<p>those EC's with the red cross etc seem like they could give you a good hook. is the 3.9 weighted or UW? i think especially if you can get your sat's up a little past 2000 at least you might have a good shot at the ivies and other top schools. BU's med school will also be a good match.</p>

6

<p>its weighted, hmm i may look at amherst, do i have a decent shot over there if i pull up the SAT?</p>

<p>Yeah, your SATs aren't that bad, the new SATs are leaving the schools in limbo, and I've met with my Amherst admis officer many times, they said they'll emphasize on the full picture b/c that's what they have to judge, and you have the full picture. With some good reccomendations, I have no doubt you'll impress them.</p>

<p>UConn's med program is great. Might be a good match/safety for you. Amazing research opportunities there, especially in the sciences, and John Dempsey (their hospital) is terrific.</p>
