<p>You have a good chance at Emory. I’m not sure about any of the other ones.
Good luck on retaking your SAT. =D</p>

3

<p>Thanks a lot, bro. Emory is a very beautiful school, but it’s quite expensive when compared to an in-state school like UNC.</p>

<p>Btw, how are the pre-med program at each of the schools? I know Duke, Emory, and Vanderbilt have extremely good ones, but I’m not sure whether the others have good ones, either. And do LACs send a lot of students to medical school?</p>

4

<p>you would be into Muhlenberg 100% as long as you show some interest in it</p>

5

<p>I know Emory has a very excellent pediatrics program, although I highly doubt that you are interested in that… haha.
If I do get accepted into Emory, I’m going to more than likely major in Biology, but Emory is a great school for any type of med programs in my opinion.</p>

6

<p>Yup, that’s why I’m considering it.</p>

<p>However, again, it’s really expensive and I don’t know if they give out a lot merit aid.</p>

7

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>Come one, guys!</p>

8

<p>Help me out here, guys. Also, what are some other good pre-med schools that I can get into (and hopefully get some money for)?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

9

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Come on, guys</p>

10

<p>Johns Hopkins has the best pre-med in the nation. I live in NC too. Do you go to Providence High?</p>

11

<p>Nope, I’m actually in East Chapel Hill.</p>

<p>Hopkins is great, but I really don’t like the atmosphere (coming from Baltimore County, of course). And plus, I don’t think I have that great of a chance getting in and paying for it.</p>
