haha so many people from stony brook are popping up on this thread! i get to go to cornell from stony next semester and i’m SO happy to be leaving. i hate stony brook so much, ugh >:(

i think you have a very good shot at all of the schools you listed, with cornell, northwestern, and jhu being the most difficult to get in. you have great stats though, so with solid essays i would say you have a good shot. since you’re pre-med, your essays will have to both explain why you want to major in your prospective major and why you want to do medicine. for cornell, you can’t double major if you’re in CALS.

you should also know that stony takes forever to process things, so give yourself a solid 2 or 3 weeks (a month being ideal) to get all the forms to the right places. the official’s report will need to be filled out by 3 offices (your advisor, undergrad academic affairs, and registrar) so that will take time.
