UPenn, Hopkins, Cornell will be hard with that GPA - Reaches

Carnegie Mellon - high match, you have all the credentials

GW is a match
In at Pitt, thats relative to all of the people at my school who have been accepted so far

Don't know much about BU, Rutgers, and Maryland, but from what my friends applying there have been saying, you look like a good match, probably low matches/safeties.

I would definitely recommend UC schools cause they're really strong in med programs. Also maybe USC as a low reach...

hope this helps!

I assume you'd be happy attending pre-med at UCSD so I'll chance you for UCSD, since it has a great pre-med program, also usable for pre-pharmacy.

UPenn: Reach
JHU: Reach
Cornell: Reach
CMU: High match
UCSD: Low match (OOS helps you at UCSD)
UPitt: Safety (regular; the BS-MD is another matter)
GW: High match
BU: Safety
Rutgers: High match (0-6 PharmD/BS-MD accelerated) Safety (regular)
UMD: Low match
