You need to get the Barron's Guide to Colleges and Universities. Good Luck!!!

I think Cornell is for you!

I really don't have an answer for you, but I know how it feels. I was in your boat just a year ago. Colleges are really arbitrary. Nowadays, even with good stats, its hard to tell if colleges will take you. (But your SAT scores are good and colleges still love those high scores.) I know that you said that you were strictly looking for a four school college, but have you ever considered 6 year medical programs? There are various schools that have then, such as Boston University, and Brown. (Others are Sophie Davis, Northwestern and Lehigh)

I wish you the best of luck!

You're probably qualified to go to any of them. The problem with good schools is they always have more qualified students applying than they can accommodate, so even great students get rejected. You can make yourself stand out with a really well-written essay and by contacting and visiting the admissions office often (good schools keep track of how many times prospective students contact the school).
Also, more than picking only the most outstanding students, they want to accept the students who won't turn down an admission offer (they get higher stats that way), so even if a school is last on your list, act like it's first whenever you talk to them.

Good luck and hope that helps.
