I am wondering what caliber of school I can get into with the stats below. I should be able to write a killer essay as I have had some crazy experiences overseas on medical mission trips. Am I Ivy/stanford duke vandy UNC quality? Also, would it be better to attend a school with a great education or attend the honors program at a different school with a national merit finalist full ride scholly? I want to go to medical school after undergrad. Also, what SAT II scores do I need to be competitive at upperlevel undergrads? Thanks for all your help!
