Hi there,

I just graduated from High School in Germany (so sorry for my english if it is not that good…), and now I am trying to find a good college for undergraduate studies. I want to study medicine after my bachelor, and therefore I am looking for a good college, so that I have good chances for admission to medical school.

Preferably I would attend a college at the east or west coast (i.e. California, New England), but I would also move to a city in the mid-west, as long as the college is good.
As you can see, I am open for every kind of college, however it should not be too small and the student body should also be international.
The costs, and if the school is a university or a liberal arts college, is not that important. Main thing is, that the school is good enought so that I have good chances of admission for medical school after my bachelor.

However, my SAT scores were not that great. Could you recommend some good and reputable colleges, where I have good chances for admission?

GPA: converted from German scale about 3.7
Rank: 12 from 100 (very strong class, average was 3.6)
TOEFL iBT: 105
SAT: verbal:580, math:610, writing: 580 (I will take the SAT again in Jan. 2010)
SAT Subject tests: biology-e: 710, math2: 680 (I will take them again in Dec. 2009)
I won a national science prize in 2009 and have some other extracurricular things to mention…

Hope you can help me. Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards Amon
