<p>i’m having a reallt difficult time locating schools that are the best fit overall. My ultimate dream is either stanford or brown plme. could you possibly recommend some good match/safety schools. </p>

<p>Rank 3/330

SATII: Bio e: 750, Spanish: 630 (im retaking this)
Cum GPA: 4.418
Classes: all honors except collegic prep united states history one and prep physics.
APs: Bio and English Lang this year (Calc, Spanish, English, and Chemistry next year)</p>

<p>Major: Biochem (i’m aiming for premed)
Minor Spanish</p>

<p>Its very frustrating…my scores do not represent me well but i have taken the sats three times already. any suggestions would be awesome.</p>

2

<p>I’ve heard that Franklin & Marshall has a very good pre-med program.</p>

3

<p>William & Mary doesnt rely on SAT scores as much as other top schools. maybe also Vassar or Haverford or Chicago</p>

4

<p>Brown, Stanford? Not with those SAT scores :confused: Berkeley has an amazing chem program. hope that helps</p>

5

<p>try schools in the top 30-50 range for reaches/matches</p>

6

<p>Have you thought about taking the ACT?</p>

7

<p>i definitely second that recommendation to take the act…my scores were very close to yours on my practives sats (a very low cr), but when I took the act, I got a 34 on reading, as opposed to my projected 590 on the sat cr section</p>

<p>How are your ECs?</p>

<p>And, yup, F&M has strong sciences, especially premed. Not amazing area, though. (Haha, I live there.)</p>

9

<p>If Stanford and Brown are considered to be the perfect fits, I don’t see where we’re getting F & M from. </p>

<p>What state do you live in? You might want to consider its public universities.</p>
