<p>Impressive. In at pretty much all UC’s and USC (merit scholarship maybe?). Berkeley tends to look at personal statement highly and not care as much for test scores, but i think you have a pretty good shot. From what i’ve seen on CC though, is that the applicant pool is better than last year and more schools, so it just makes it harder on everyone…I see Rice happening but I don’t see you getting into Brown, because I don’t see something that stands out at a lot. But you have a shot at Brown. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Wow! Thanks for the response. I agree, Brown is a far reach. So are Claremont and Pomona I think… I’m also pretty worried about USC’s BA/MD program because I know it is quite competitive to get into. I hope I can make it!</p>
