<p>Hello everyone! I would really appreciate if you could suggest safety, matches or reaches. I'm getting a bit confused with all the universities since there are so many and I can't seem to choose. I would really love to know your opinion.</p>

<p>Spanish Female from low-income family</p>

<p>Major: Science, possibly biology or neuroscience</p>

<p>STATS:
GPA 3.73 unweighted, 4.2 weighted
SAT 2100
SAT II Chemistry 730, Biology 760, Spanish 800
AP Biology 5, Psychology 4, Art I 4, Art II 5 (also honors)</p>

<p>EXTRACURRICULAR:
Volleyball 4 years (captain)
Ice Hockey 2 years
Art club
Tutor (spanish, chemistry)
Babysitting (?)</p>

<p>AWARDS in chemistry, math, foreign language, art (winning art competition with gold medals 2 years in a row), National Art Honor Society, principal's honors list (9-12)</p>

<p>Not much community service to be honest though I've been volunteering now at a hospital as a patient representative in the ER for about 13 weeks and in Pediatrics for 6 weeks one day per week. Also a couple of months/weeks work experience shadowing doctors and surgeons (I'm planning to become a doctor) but I don't think that will make much of a difference? Not sure.</p>

<p>I'm from Boston, Mass. Besides BU, BC and Northeastern I was thinking of:
U. Pittsburgh -
Penn State -
U. New Hampshire -
Seattle U. -
Tulane -
Lehigh -
Brandeis -
Fordham -
U. Miami -
U. Rochester -
WashU -
Vanderbilt -</p>

<p>Out of these, I have to pick the best 7. Help? Or any other suggestions? I'm planning to ask for financial aid from all.</p>

<p>…bump!</p>

<p>Help please?</p>

<p>You’ll easily get into Pitt. And most likely Penn State (assuming main campus, correct?) Lehigh’s hard to get into, but the campus is gorgeous. I’d recommend applying there.<br>
A few kids in my class were accepted to both schools with far less credentials than you have.</p>

<p>UNH will be cake for you, no doubt.</p>

<p>thank you! I’m planning to apply to 10 universities, something like 3 safeties, 5/4 matches, 2/3 reaches. For safeties which one would you recommend for pre-med/science major/overall?</p>

<p>U. Pitt
Penn State
U. New Hampshire
Villanova
Fordham (safety?)</p>

<p>U. Pittsburgh - Safety
Penn State - Safety
U. New Hampshire - Safety
Seattle U. - Safety
Tulane - Match
Lehigh - Match-high match
Brandeis - Match
Fordham - Low match
U. Miami - Low match
U. Rochester - Low match
WashU - Reach
Vanderbilt - Reach
Villanova: Low match</p>

<p>Thank you for your responses, really helpful!</p>

<p>Any suggestions as to which universities are reaches but would be possible for me to get in? Right now I have:
Vanderbilt
Duke
Northwestern
John Hopkins
WashU
U. Michigan
NYU
Princeton
Dartmouth</p>

<p>Be as realistic as possible! I’d really appreciate it! As well as any other suggestions for possible reaches</p>
