<p>U of I chicago

Northwestern
St. Louis University

Loyola University in Chicago
any other ideas?</p>

<p>Desired College Characteristics:</p>

<p>Location type: Urban

Importance of cost: (free - 25k)</p>

2

<p>U of I chicago: In
U of I Urbana: Slight reach
Northwestern: Reject
St. Louis University: Reach
Washintong univsersity in St. Louis.: Reject
Loyola University in Chicago: In</p>

<p>If you really want to increase your chances, i say you buckle down this summer and start practiciing hardcore for the ACT test. Get your score 33+ and get your GPA back up. The you’ll have a good chance at all of those schools excluding northwestern.</p>

3

<p>I don’t think you have much chance at Wash U either, even if you raise your scores. I hope you’re just joking about being lazy. If you are, you shouldn’t be premed.</p>

4

<p>no i use to be lazy, since junior year started i got serious. At this point i would sell my kidney to someone from my school staff who could raise my gpa to a 4+. :)</p>

5

<p>and btw… are there any other good university choices for me… What should i be majoring in? Why do people say pre-med is a waste of time and does not help you become a doctor… Should i be taking pre-med? Does it gaurantee me becoming a doctor if i try?</p>

6

<p>GPA is very low. Very low rank.</p>

<p>U of I chicago: In
U of I Urbana: REJECT
Northwestern: REJECT
St. Louis University: Maybe
Washintong univsersity in St. Louis.: REJECT
Loyola University in Chicago: Likely</p>

7

<p>rejected at urbana? like not even reach? serious?</p>

8

<p>You can major in anything you want. You just have to complete the premed requirements. But many premeds major in biological sciences.
Your best bet is probably to get really high grades at a public university. Then you’ll have to take the MCAT and apply to medical school. There are no guarantees that you’ll be accepted.</p>

9

<p>ok ok… what are other good universities i can go to?</p>

10

<p>I hope you’re not my doctor lol.</p>

11

<p>haha me too I don’t trust 475/956. With a C in phys Ed, you might be the one needing a doctor.
Anyways
WASHU:REJECT
NORTHWESTERN: REJECT
URBANA: REJECT
STL: 50/50
LOYOLA: 80/20
UICHI: YEP</p>

12

<p>whoa whoa whoa i got a c in phys ed cuz i failed the ping pong test…</p>

<p>plus our school is known for hacing easy version of every class… like chemistry fundamentals or prarie math or umm biology elementals. Ppl take classes like that and get A+'s on them… i swer the 300 kids infront of me are ■■■■■■■… if i took average classes i wud be in the top 100.</p>

<p>also, if i can get my act 30+ and gpa 3.2ish… cud i get into urbana?</p>

13

<p>Yet you do lousy in the hard version of every class, are behind ■■■■■■■ in the rankings, and want to apply to good schools that won’t accept you.</p>

14

<p>■■■■■…how the hell do you fail a PING-PONG test??..LOL…sorry, i find it hilarious cuz im asian…even if you did fail it b/c of your lack of ability in ping-pong, you should’ve practiced for such a test and im sure your PE teacher would’ve been very generous (I got an A in PE 2 w/o knowing how to swim, but I still practiced swimming every week at the local Y, and my teacher realized this)…</p>

15

<p>y aint ur indian ass getting high scores lol</p>

16

<p>yes gaffe… thats basically it.</p>
