Answer 1

First of all, cut down on the number of schools you are applying to. Second, none of these schools have much in common. Brown and Cal Tech?

You have to narrow it down because now it looks like a desperate attempt to get into a good school.

As for the Ivys, (except maybe Cornell) your numbers are a little low. Forget about Harvard, unless you've recently discovered the cure for cancer.

A monkey can get into NYU, American, Tufts, BC, and Boston University.

The others look pretty good, though.

Answer 2

There are some colleges/universities that are non-selective — "open enrollment" — yet you will probable faill even those low high quality institutions. in case you're black, you may attend an HBCU. Your ultimate suggestions-set is to freshen up your act in an area college which has a 2+2 articulation settlement with a close-by college. overall, nevertheless curiously you ought to be searching for a commerce apprenticeship. Plumber perhaps.

Answer 3

I agree that this doesn't seem like a very focused list. I think 12-ish is the maximum you should consider applying to. You have pretty good credentials and I'm sure you'll get into one of those schools. Try to focus on those that will give you the best pre-med education and be sure to include some reach schools, likelies, and safety schools.

Answer 4

Your applying to 22 college - that is way to many - but yes you can rest assured with the information you posted you will get into one of them. I am just figured why you didn't apply to Michigan, Dartmouth, and Columbia and hit like just about every college in the top twenty best schools in the country that also have Medical schools.

good luck!!!

Answer 5

I guess. Good luck!
