<p>Is cost an issue? There are many privates but they will cost a lot more than a UC.</p>

<p>well lets just say no…which school would then be good?</p>

<p>Stanford!</p>

<p>but UCSF has a great pediatrics program in nor cal and same with UCLA for so cal</p>

<p>Look at Santa Clara, loyola, Scripps, USF.</p>

<p>UCSF is grad school only.</p>

<p>scripps? that is a graduate institute.</p>

<p>Schools that would fit your stats are some listed already: Santa Clara, Loyola Marymount, USF, and some more: University of the Pacific, University of Redlands, Occidental College – reach, Pitzer College (test optional) – reach, Westmont College (Christian conservative), maybe Cal Lutheran.</p>

<p>If you are successful in raising your ACT to 29, then two reaches can be added in: Claremont McKenna and Scripps.</p>

<p>UCSF doesn’t have undergrads, does it?</p>

<p>Dunnin has a great list. </p>

<p>Are you guessing that or have your parents said that they will pay $50k per year for the school of your choice? At this late of time in the admissions process, it’s important to be certain of your financial situation. </p>

<p>If you are certain that your parents will pay $50k per year for whatever school you go to, then great. :slight_smile: If you’re not sure, ask them.</p>

<p>If you plan on going to med school, then really any good school can prepare you for that. </p>

<p>When will you be taking the ACT again?</p>
