College Search & Selection

<p>Yeah I’ve shortened my previous post a bit cuz I think people didnt wanna read a bunch of ****</p>

<p>demographics/interests
*I am an Asian Indian Male
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon, Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school.
*student body at school = 500+
*Want to study medicine so would like a strong biology or anat/phys program
*Perfer a medium-small institution
*Location now that I think about it doesnt matter as long as it isnt too hot or too cold.
*I’m a “prestige whore”</p>

<p>The Numbers/ECs

<p>*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)
*IB Diploma Candidate (to be)
*Will take AP exams in addition to IB exams, so I could be AP Scholar w/ distinction or just AP scholar as well.

<p>So what would b some good schools to add to my list:</p>

<li>University of Michigan </li>
<li>University of Washington</li>
<li>UC System through common app</li>
</ol>

<p>btw I wont change my mind about applying to these unless someone makes a very very good point. And please dont put super reaches for me like stanford or harvard because I will simply ignore them.</p>

<p>*Perfer a medium-small institution
*Location now that I think about it doesnt matter as long as it isnt too hot or too cold.</p>

<p>Let me tell you dud, with 25,000 undergrads and 15,000 graduate students, Michigan is BIG! LOL!!! And Michigan winters tend to be nippy (major understatement)! </p>

<p>At any rate, I will encourage you to apply to Michigan because it really is an awesome school, but keep in mind that it is big and cold.</p>

<p>The UCs are also huge, but they are also excellent. UCB, UCD, UCLA and UCSD are all excellent in the life sciences.</p>

<p>Schools other than the UCs and Michigan that I recommend:</p>

<p>Brandeis University
Brown University
Cornell University (very cold too, but awesome just the same)
Duke University
Emory University
Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern University
Reed College
University of Chicago
University of Colorado-Boulder
University of Wisconsin-Madison (if you like Michigan, you will like Wisconsin)
Vanderbilt University
Washington University-St Louis</p>
