Please make sure you have one sure thing for admission that you would be happy to attend. If you have that, then apply to these other top schools, and you get accepted to one or more. It’s very hard to chance even top students for elite schools with very low acceptance rates.
If medical school is potentially in your future, will your family help fund that also…it will likely be $100,000 a year…or more. Federally funded loan limit is $200,000.
I’m going to link a thread here. Like you, this student in the thread was a very strong student. He was a NMF, class val, high GPA, excellent LOR and ECs. Some awards. No one expected he would be rejected from every college to which he applied his senior year of high school. But that’s what happened. He really didn’t have any sure things on his list.
He did land well on his feet after a well crafted gap year, but his senior year in high school was not a happy one. You don’t want to be in this position!
