Chance Me: Boston University for Psych / Pre-Med! [NJ resident, 3.9 GPA, rank 3/87, 1360 SAT]

Rutgers is likely.

UMD is a target to slight reach. You’ll need to apply TO with that score as 1410 was the 25th percentile.

Brandeis and Clark are toss ups - but Brandeis goes up if you are full pay.

BU a reach - also need to go TO. Perhaps because you did a program there you’d get a lift - but it has an 11% acceptance rate and single digits if you don’t apply ED (hint, apply ED if you want a chance and money is no issue and it’s your pure #1).

Agree with your lower prob and low prob.

Only Rutgers is assured here but I imagine Brandeis and Clark could happen.

It’s odd to me you have a UMD and Rutgers but then a Clark.

If you want a big flagship like UMD, there are others that you’d get into.

On the flipside, if you want an LAC, there’s many you can get into.

While money may not matter, if you are going to med school, make sure they make that statement knowing you have another, at least, $400K for school after undergrad.

Good luck.
