Colleges and Universities A-Z Williams College

<h2>Below are my stats and I was wondering what LACs I should apply to. I hope to go to medical school so I want a college thats good for biology or anatomy and physiology for a major. I would like the location to be in CA, PA, NY, North Carolina or MA perferrably because they have a large amount of Medical Schools there, and if I go to college in one of those states, I may get an instate discount. Also just make sure that its got good prestige because I hate it when people give unkown colleges to me. But yeah btw I'm posting this in large forums like this one to get more replies since more people view this stuff :D </h2>

<p>So what would you recommend I apply to. And please if I cant get into any, dont be afraid to say it. I'll be more upset if I see 3429438534 views and not 1 reply because ur afraid to criticize me.</p>

<p>Reach: Middlebury, Bowdoin, Haverford, Wesleyan
Match: Bucknell, Washington and Lee, Williams and Mary, Davidson
Safety: Connecticut College, Skidmore, Union (check out the medical program associated with Union), Franklin and Marshall</p>

3

<p>I know a girl who got into Wesleyan with similar stats. She attributes it to IB. Can't tell you if she's right, though.</p>

<p>I'd add Reed to match.</p>

4

<p>Have you taken the PSAT yet? How can you expect that you are going to get 2000+ on the SAT?</p>

5

<p>what about schools actually in the states he likes? Pomona, Swarthmore are the two most prestigious colleges in the states he named. Both very good at biology. Also worth looking at are hamilton, vassar, haverford, davidson.</p>

6

<p>How does one get into Pomona or Swarthmore with 2000-2100 SAT's?</p>

7

<p>Well you start by applying.</p>

8

<p>You know, I heard that same thing. Apparently, applying is like THE thing to do if you want to get into college.</p>

<p>The OP specifically requested realistic info. Unless he's witholding some data (i.e. state level tennis competition, etc.), PS isn't recommendable with 2000-2100 scores. Certainly not impossible, but the Haverford Wesleyan Middlebury rec is much more realistic.</p>

10

<p>You could have a shot at places like Colgate, Colby, Bates, Davidson with that range of scores too.</p>

11

<p>I think that you would have a fair shot at a college like Carleton. From your activities, I think you might be interested in math/ science (correct me if I'm wrong), and Carleton is known for their great programs in these areas.</p>
