Chance me/Match me: great stats, mid ec (no leadership) premed kid, needing no aid {1570 superscore, 3.95? GPA)

Fine student - and great you have no cost constraints. But please factor in grad school.

Part of your greatness is your SAT. The UCs won’t see them. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply but just making you aware if you weren’t.

To me your list seems like a lot of big names. Have you visited all? You have large, mid size, and small - but all big names. You will have huge competition at said big names - whereas a lower tier school might allow you to stand out and make more connections.

What does Colby and Colgate have in common with U Mich and UCLA? More with Geneseo.

What do you really want in a school?

And what can UCB or Michigan give you for pre med that a SUNY can’t? Again, you have to pay for med school.

No issues with your list - but I’m hopeful it’s a list of schools you want to attend after visiting or learning more about them and not simply a list of big name that you know little about other than a rank.

Here’s a list - maybe helpful - but Ohio State is rated higher for medical anthropology than your list (and gives great merit and would be safe for you). SUNY Geneseo is on it too although I don’t see the major.

Certainly you have admits on your list. But is your list properly constructed? At first glance it doesn’t appear so but only you know what’s important to you.

Best of luck.
