<p>I'm a junior in Ohio, and I recently got my ACT score back. I'm hoping I could get some advice on what colleges to apply to, and what my chances may be. I'm interested in doing Pre-Med. Right now I'm considering Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Ohio State, UC Berkeley, Penn State's 7/8 year Med Program, and Boston University's 7 year Med Program. Am I being too optimistic? Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Very good test scores and GPA. Good ECs also but nothing too unique. Those colleges look good for your stats.</p>

<p>One question: What’s your unweighted GPA?</p>

<p>Also make sure you get 750+ on all your SAT IIs.</p>

<p>nagintapls: I’m not really sure. My school doesn’t report unweighted. I have 23 credits, and all of them are A’s and A+'s except for 1, so if I’m doing my calculations correctly, I should have a 3.99 unweighted.</p>
