<p>Basically, I've taken all of the hardest courses offerred at my school, all of them are PreAP/Honors/AP if possible. I'm a registered Native American, Cherokee tribe, yay minority status. I'm planning on being a Cognitive Neuroscience major, PreMed as well. I suppose it will probably have to be Neuroscience with a minor in cognitive sciences, but close enough. I'm also working very very hard on my applications, I already have almost all of it done, and I'm going to refine my essays for the next couple months.</p>

<p>I'm curious to see what you guys say. I"d like some objective opinions as opposed to my mother who keeps telling me "you'll get in to all these amazing schools, don't worry!" I am pretty sure that's not the case, but I'd like to see what you guys say. I know that most of these schools are reach schools, some more than others, but I"m fairly confident I"ll get in to at least a couple, if not more. I figure why not go for some good schools, you never know, and it doesn't hurt to try as long as it's reasonable.</p>
