What's a good college for me?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm having difficulty narrowing down where I want to visit. I will be a senior next year</p>

<p>stuff about me!</p>

<p>ACT: 35
SAT II's: Biology M: 750, Math Lvl II: 800</p>

<p>I could take the SAT I too, but I don't really see the point, as most schools take the ACT now..</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 UW, 5.15 W (have no idea how they calculate it)
Class rank: 1 out of 435</p>

<p>AP
Calculus AB: 5
Stats: 5
Human Geo: 5
MacroEcon: 5
Biology: 4
US History:4</p>

<p>Next year I am taking: AP US Govt, AP English Lit, AP Chem, AP Physics B, C: Mechanics, and AP Psychology (phew!)</p>

<p>I completed all my HS math by 8th grade, and calculus 1 and 2 after first semester sophomore year</p>

<p>Extra curricular
Varsity Swimming: 4 years (since 8th grade) made it to state as an individual twice, placing top 16 in two events; captain next year
Club swimming: 15+ hours a week to stay in shape out of season
Math League: 3 years, top 3 in our conference each year, made it to state all 3 years (also captain next year)
National Honors Society (Junior + Senior year)
Science Olympiad: two years
SkillsUSA: Made it two nationals in their math competition twice, placing 3rd once
have played piano for nearly 10 years
had a research internship at a very prestigious medical institution for a semester
I have volunteered 100+ hours through my church, NHS, and SkillsUSA and another 100+ this summer and throughout next year at a hospital'</p>

<p>i've also gotten awards like the Harvard book award, but they don't really matter much for college admissions, and I don't want to list them all</p>

<p>I want to major in either some type of science or mathematics or maybe even BME or Chem Engineering. after undergrad, I would like to attend med school. I would also like to swim in college, but not good enough to swim division 1. Divisions II or III I could probably swim for, but swimming is not a deciding factor in where I want to go</p>

<p>oh yeah, and I'm a white male</p>

<p>Thanks for the help (assuming someone replies!)</p>

2

<p>MIT, Embry Riddle, Princeton, Stanford, Wash U…</p>

<p>that is pretty impressive. You should consider Yale or Johns Hopkins. Princeton is good too.
Good luck!</p>

4

<p>I was kinda hoping for somewhere that wouldn’t be a crapshoot though..</p>

5

<p>Hopkins isn’t quite as much of a crapshoot as HYPSM, and their BME program is tops. Why haven’t you taken the BC Calc exam yet if you finished calculus sophomore year?</p>

6

<p>I took it through a college program, so I already had college credit</p>

7

<p>anyone???</p>

<p>sorry if i’m being annoying</p>

8

<p>Any preferences re: size of school, location, rural/suburban/urban, LAC vs. University, interaction with profs, social scene, etc.? That info would help with making recommendations.</p>

<p>You can get much more help if you post in the College Search and Selection Forum.</p>
