<p>thanks..</p>
<p>please? anyone?</p>
<p>You don't provide very much information.</p>
<p>What do you want to go into? Which schools are interesting to you, suit you as a person? Which AP classes?</p>
<p>Look at some of the other threads, and try to include information. Colleges have applications so that they can find out who you are to the fullest extent possible.</p>
<p>The above information says nothing about you, even in academics. It's impossible to anyone to say where people will get in, really, and here -it's impossible to make informed guesswork.</p>
<p>It doesn't look too bad, except for the GPA, but would you mind including more information? It'd be much appreciated.</p>
<p>I agree--a bit more information is needed. </p>
<p>Is your GPA listed the UW GPA or the weighted GPA?<br>
What are you interested in majoring in?<br>
Do you care what portion of the country the colleges are in?<br>
What about rural vs metropolitan areas?
Do you want a college that is large or small?<br>
Is weather a deciding factor?<br>
What about a college with lots of sports activities--or are you looking for theatre/music activities?<br>
What are your personal interests (saving the whales, going into space, inventing things, etc.)?
How much can you/your parents afford in terms of college--do you need financial aid to attend?</p>
<p>All these things help us provide a better list of schools--so any help in this regard would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I see. sorry about that. that is my unweighted GPA, as I realize the gpa is very lacking. I took most of the core AP's (World, US, Bio, English Lang, Lit, etc)</p>
<p>As an instate student, I'd like to get into the U of Washington if possible, but it seems like its getting far more competitive every year. Even with a solid gpa/sat many qualified students are getting rejected. </p>
<p>I'm quite set on going into medicine, and interested in schools in the east coast, with some exceptions in the west (cali & washington) I prefer a metropolitan area but I'm thinking that this wouldn't matter much if the campus is great. I don't mind the size of the campus unless it is extremely small. also, weather isn't a big factor, but a sunny area would be nice. my main thing is getting into the best pre-med program possible with my gpa, as I'd like to attend a top med school in the near future.</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
<p>ECs and interests would help.</p>
<p>As for pre-med, a lot of colleges have different requirements for those majors. Generally, you'll be wanting four years of math and four years of science, as well as grades (hopefully you did okay on the Bio AP test) in those courses.</p>
<p>If you're looking towards California, definitely apply to UCSD. It's med school (graduate) was ranked around top 10 in the nation, I believe, and it's a pretty nice campus. Not small, either.</p>
<p>However, being out of state, you're going to have to deal with OOS tuition, but I believe it's around $20,000 for non-residents. Which isn't bad at all, it's one of the better OOS deals.</p>
<p>However, not being a resident means it's going to be harder to get in -GPA/class rank is a huge part of any admissions process, period, and it's even bigger at public universities. It'll be hard to get in, although not as hard as JHU, for example.</p>
<p>However, although GPA is still low, given everything else the University of Washington looks like a match.</p>
<p>I'll get back to this later, I'm kind of tired -but look at UCSD, if you can. I'd finish the post, but I can't think of any other good (or, there should be lots! But you're pretty focused on prestige) pre-med programs or good options for you given your academics at the moment.</p>
<p>thanks for your response, i'll look in to UCSD. Are their pre-med/undergrad programs strong as their med/grad?</p>
<p>Some of the schools that I think would be good schools to apply to (as pre-med schools) for you are:</p>
<p>Univ of Washington--match to slight reach
Seattle University--match
UCSD--slight reach (OOS)
UCSB--match to slight reach (OOS)
UCD--match to slight reach (OOS)
Ohio State University--match
Penn State University, University Park--slight reach to reach
Wisconsin-Madison--slight reach
Boston University--match
University of Pittsburgh--safe match
State University of New York at Stony Brook--safety to safe match</p>
<p>P.S. I have to add that picking schools for a student like yourself is always difficult, since it is hard to know how much emphasis the schools will put on your GPA versus how much emphasis will go on the difficult courseload you took--so understand that I'm doing the best I can here--but you should consider looking at other similar schools to these as well.</p>
<p>Best of success.</p>
<p>PSU is not a slight reach at all, its more like a safe match</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your help. :) Many of those schools frankly, i hadn't considered before this post. Those are some new schools I can look into. Thanks again</p>
<p>Anyone else have comments? Do I have any chance at U of Chicago, UCLA or UC berkeley? Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Penn State goes more on GPA than almost any other school in the country. They don't use the test scores to offset the GPA like other schools do. The is the reason for my rating it as a slight reach for the OP.</p>
<p>P.S. The average GPA at Penn State (unrated) is 3.56. (and the OP is not even remotely close to that--so it's possible that it is a reach--not a slight reach--but definitely not a safe match).</p>
