<p>Hello whomever it may concern,</p>

<p>My college compass, that being the higher educational path I intend to pursue, is broken for lack of better word. Now, I need your help. I plan to major in Biomedical Engineering, and I live in Indiana. My goal is either to become a doctor of some type, or a high end biomedical engineer, and if I'm not mistaken, I can get into med school with any scientific major. Correct me if I'm wrong though.</p>

<p>Here are my high school stats, junior year being projected:</p>

<p>*Note, they follow a format, the first gpa in a specific category is semester 1, the other, #2</p>

<p>Grade 9 gpa unweighted: 3.4, 3.5</p>

<p>1 AP class
3 Honors classes</p>

<p>Grade 10 gpa unweighted: 3.6, 3.7</p>

<p>2 AP classes
1 PLTW class
3 Honors Classes</p>

<p>Grade 11 (projected): 3.8, 3.9</p>

<p>5 AP classses
1 PLTW class
1 IB class</p>

<p>Extra Curricular Activities:</p>

<p>300+ hours of volunteering to aid in physical therapy of patients at St. Vincents Hospital</p>

<hr>

<p>Exam Scores:</p>

<p>AP world history: 4
AP european history: 4
AP computer science: 5
(Projected AP scores follow)
AP chemistry: 5
AP physics: 5
AP english lit: 4
AP us history: 5
AP calc bc: 5</p>

<p>SAT: 2270</p>

<p>Math: 800
English: 750
Reading: 720</p>

<p>Subject Tests: Math I & II: 800</p>

<hr>

<p>When my school applies for college, we only submit our junior year transcript. I'm not too worried about senior year, as most of my courses won't be too challenging. </p>

<p>Anyways, my question for you is this: </p>

<p>Assuming I can meet these scores, and assuming I want to major in biomedical engineering, which colleges would you recommend I apply for, given my home state is Indiana?</p>

<p>Does location matter to you? Because you could probably get into your honors programs at the Indiana state schools easily…</p>

<p>Harvey Mudd, Pomona, Berkeley maybe MIT or Stanford as reaches, all these school are OOS for you i don’t know many schools in Indiana, but as the other poster said you can get into the honor programs at your local universities. Good luck.
Also, chance me if you can:

<p>What do you want in a school? A small LAC, a large state school? An urban environment or a school that is far from the city? These are just two things to consider. Also is it more important that the school has biomedical engineering or a good pre-med program/medical school acceptance rate (you are look at very few schools that have both)? Last what is your class rank?</p>

<p>As for medical school, yes you can go to medical school with any major as long as you take all the pre-reqs.</p>
