<p>I am a high school junior in maryland.
3.92 GPA unweighted, 4.5 weighted
1900 SAT (680 math, 630 verbal)
Currently taking AP chem, will take SAT IIs later this year</p>
<p>I want to be Pre-Med.
Have the HHMI internship at NIH doing cancer research.</p>
<p>I know im pretty much in at UMCP if I choose to go there, but where else should I apply? </p>
<p>I'm thinking UVA, NYU, Georgetown as reach schools unless the HHMI internsip helps me out more than I realize.</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>if you can get your sat up to about 2100 and you take a rigorous(Ap classes) schedule senior year, i think you have a solid shot at most top schools. itd just be up to what schools you like.</p>
<p>well of the schools that I listed which has good premed programs?</p>
<p>Any other recommendations?
Someone suggested St. Mary's of MD to me</p>
<p>take the ACTs, see how you do. Your GPA is great, i would say look at carnegie mellon too.</p>
<p>I took the ACT but made a mistake when I had to change testing centers and accidentally signed up for the non-writing.</p>
<p>So I got a 30, but it was without the writing section.</p>
<p>english 31
math 29
reading 29
science 30</p>
<p>University of Maryland is a great school. There are comparable out of state schools, but why pay the out of state tuition? If you really want to get out of Maryland...</p>
<p>UVA
University of Wisconsin - Madison
University of Washington
Penn State</p>
<p>well how is UMD's premed?</p>
<p>isn't the HHMI-NIH Scholars thing for med students</p>
<p>Most colleges in the top 100 or so have good pre-med programs, so we need more information. Do you want a big or small college? Rural or urban? Close to Maryland or anywhere in the US? Do you have a major in mind? Do you plan to continue a particular ec or sport? How important is cost?</p>
<p>I dont particularly care about size.
I am somewhat leaning toward a Div-I school just because im a huge sports fan, so UMD, UVA, etc appeals.
Close to home is good, but its not a priority. If its far away, I would want to be near a big city (NYC, LA, Chi, etc)</p>
<p>Cost is important. Instate at UMD would be a lot cheaper than say Georgetown or UVA and is one of the main reasons i lean towards UMD, especially since I like my chances at getting some sort of scholarship from the school.</p>
<p>As for majors, I know I want to do something in the medical field (want to attend med school). I am interested in oncology but that could change.</p>
<p>UMD does sound like a good fit for me, but I want to know if there are other schools I would be better off going to if I get in. Based on prestige, recognition, education, etc</p>
<p>bumpabadankkk</p>
<p>so is it worth it to go somewhere liek penn state to do the BS/MD or not</p>
<p>.............bump?</p>
<p>for what it's worth i just found out my AP chem score is a 4</p>
<p>GPA has increased to an unweighted 3.94</p>
<p>what are my chances at some reaches like UPenn, considering I'd want to be premed</p>
