College Search & Selection
#1

<p>Hi!
I am a junior still looking into possible colleges. I live in New York, and I'm willing to go far away, but not to California or the West Coast I guess. I am interested in medicine and politics, and I am also looking into 7 or 8 year medical programs.
More information:
SAT: 2380 (800 Verbal 800 Writing 780 Math)
GPA: 4.4 (4 is an A, 4.6 is an A+)
SAT II: World: 800 (Taking Chem and Math II this year)
APs past and present: World (5), US History, Statistics, Chemistry
Extracurriculars:
Interned on a political campaign, >200 hours volunteering in a hospital, summer 5-week mini-medical program, Harvard Model Congress, Mock Trial, Science and Math Peer Tutor, AYSO soccer referee every Sunday, core group leader of youth outreach group, Princeton University Leadership Program.
Any advice?
Thanks for your time and help!</p>

<p>Your CC might let you in, but you need to work on your ECs if you want that to happen</p>

<p>Your ECs are great and so are you scores. Some schools to look at would be</p>

<p>Washington University in St. Louis Bears - pre med
Georgetown University Hoyas - politics
University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish - politics
Princeton University Tigers - politics
Johns Hopkins University Blue Jays - pre med
Northwestern University Wildcats - pre med and politics</p>

<p>Research Johns Hopkins. IR and premed is a deadly combo here. :D Great access to the interiors of Washington DC. Tremendous access to world renown international relations faculty at Paul H Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in D.C. and the renown Johns Hopkins Hospital and medical school at the medical campus.</p>

#8

<p>BA/MD programs, pretty complete I think:</p>

<p>BA/MD</a> Programs - U.S. School Listing - Medical School Help</p>

#9

<p>Harvard University
University of Michigan--Ann Arbor
University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill
Washington University in St. Louis </p>

<p>These should definately be your top 4 choices</p>
