<p>so yeah...what are some good colleges that i have a shot at and offer good science programs? Thanks</p>

<p>What’s your state of residency, and what schools are you interested in? You’ll have to give us a little more to work with…</p>

3

<p>What are your preferences in size, location, traditional college experience?</p>

4

<p>VA state, I wanted good schools that i have a shot at but I visited UVA and W & M and liked W & M better if that means anything</p>

5

<p>I want a smaller school that has good advising and also good dorms (W & M dorms were lacking). Thanks for the replies btw</p>

6

<p>bump… looking for more schools</p>

<p>do you think I have a chance at Johns Hopkins or Northwestern?</p>

7

<p>what do you want to major in? since at most schools pre med isnt a major…
it really doesnt matter what you major in, so just pick a major of interest and look up schools known for that major.</p>

8

<p>hmm good question.</p>

<p>Do you know any good schools that offer a neuroscience major?</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins…depends how well your senior and junior year grades turn out. They also weigh teacher recs and essays quite heavily. Hopefully you have an upward trend.</p>

<p>Northwestern…depends what your CR and M scores were. They don’t look at writing at all.</p>

<p>i can tell you that the main thing for hopkins is your GPA! i had a freind who had a 3.9 but a SAT of 1200!! and she was accepted for neuroscience! so i dont know if hopkins will look at a 3.5 favorably! but it never hurts to apply!</p>

11

<p>bump…do i have a chance at any schools? or is it community college for me :(</p>

12

<p>The most important question: Is money an issue? Next, what’s your rank. A 3.5 could be top 5% or top 50% depending on the school.</p>

13

<p>money is not really an issue. As for rank, my school doesnt rank but im about top 10%</p>

14

<p>bump…</p>

15

<p>bumpp…</p>

16

<p>if you want ot become a doctor, johns hopinks or washu?</p>

17

<p>do you think I have a chance at Johns Hopkins or Northwestern? </p>

<p>^^no.</p>

18

<p>want to explain collegebound? my sat’s are good and i have an upward trend. Since Johns hopkins doesnt count freshman year, I would probably have around a 3.65 unweighted gpa.</p>

19

<p>3.65 isnt good enough. And im pretty sure only the UC system doesnt count freshman year. And just because johns hopkins says so, doesnt mean they do.</p>

20

<p>you make no sense…only comment if you know what you are talking about. Johns Hopkins definitely doesn’t count freshman year. Plus my school’s grading system is really hard where an A is 94-90 Bplus is 90-94 B is 84-90 and so on.</p>
