What is your unweighted gpa. Weighted is of little help because everyone weights differently.

If it’s not listed take your core classes. Give a 4 for an A, 3 for B, 2 for C etc add the points and divide by # of classes. If you get credits and some classes are a different amount, then do the same by credit. Ignore pluses and minuses.

What’s your budget ?

Also fill out the template - so we can see your math, foreign language level etc.

As for major - any major works with pre med if you take the classes. Pre med is not a major. It’s an intention. So you pick the major. Or I’ll say accounting. Because if pre med changes it’s a great major

Kidding - the point is that you know what interests you. And given most pre meds don’t go to med school, pick what you’d like for your future.

Tell us more.

Are you recruitable for your sport?
If so, reach out to D3 coaches with academic resume and athletic highlights video.

If not, look up a thread by @Lindagaf about the “average excellent student” to get an idea of your competition.

The first thing you need to do is complete the application to your states flagship(s) AND their honors college.
Then, borrow a Princeton Review’s Guide to the Colleges from your library (any edition 2022 on is fine)-> Find 5 private colleges you had never heard of that you like.
Post their names and what you liked about them on this thread.

What’s your budget? If you don’t know, talk with your parents ASAP.
What’s your SAI?
https://studentaid.gov/aid-estimator/
Are the numbers (parents’ budget, SAI) similar or different?
What about if you run the NPC on WashU, what’s the net price result?

You can do the required courses for medical school applicants at just about every four year college in this country, arts conservatories excluded.

Why these schools? Are you hoping for significant need based aid, or can your family afford the full cost of attendance?
