Out of the following which one should I apply for Early Decision. I am interested in Biology major and then Premed
I am getting confused with a the info. I don’t want to use this option to apply to the one where there is best chance of getting in.
Uni of Rochester
Univ of Miami
Urbana Champaign
Tulane
John Hopkins
Though I am in Kansas but will be considere international student so instate and outstate both are fine. Open to both private as well as public.
My weighted GPA is 3.5 and have four AP -English, Bio, French, Calc and CAPS in Biology. Been part of school girls swim team, leader of diversity and Environmental club.
A weighted 3.5 will make all 4 reaches. And which Miami (Florida or Ohio)? Might have better chances at Miami of Ohio.
Also do you have test scores?
Do you understand the difference between ED and EA? ED is binding. So you can only apply to one school ED and if accepted you are going there. So you need to be sure you can afford and really want to go to whatever school you choose to apply ED too. It should be your #1 option.
EA is not binding. You just apply early and get a decision back early. You can apply to many EA schools.
You can also apply to one school ED and then others EA, but if admitted to your ED school you are supposed to withdraw your application to other schools.
Does all that make sense?
Do all of the schools you listed offer ED? I am sure Urbana Champaign does not. But they do have EA. I am not sure about the rest. I would highly recommend you visit the admissions website for each college and see what their application options are.
Can you afford to be full pay?
That is very important with regard to international applicants. If you are applying for financial aid, your chances become close to zilch.
You had better do some more research on those schools. Last I checked UIUC does not even have ED.
Your chances for JHU premed are lottery ticket even ED.
To answer your question , the most selective of the 3, Miami, Tulane, Rochester likely to be meet your requirements. Look up the selectivity %s. Make sure they all have ED. Things change year to year.
Tulane is both EA/ED now. But a 3.5 weighted makes it a reach.
KU might be OPs safety, although if she is international, it might be expensive.
And in another post, OP said 26 ACT. Which makes all the schools on the list a reach.
KU, KSU, and maybe Iowa, Nebraska-Lincoln might be better schools to consider.
If you are an international student, getting into a US medical school is extremely unlikely.
