Junior looking for college ideas [NJ resident, 4.0 GPA, 1550 SAT; "medical track majors, bio related"]

@CC_Kathy its always good to have information.

There is no harm in reaching…but without end of year junior data like GPA…it’s very hard to give suggestions. Yale and Duke could both be huge reaches. We don’t know. Yale certainly is a reach for all applicants as the admission rate is in the single digits. Even students with excellent applications are denied admission because there simply aren’t enough spots for all who apply.

A pro tip…your daughter can take the required courses for medical school admissions at just about every four year college in this country…arts conservatories excluded. Rutgers is a great instate choice for you. Look at other options like TCNJ…which could work too. Plenty of other options…depending on where her grades are later!
