LORs: will ask for ones from my AP Chemistry/organic chemistry teacher and AP Physics 1 teacher
My suggestion…don’t use two science teachers for your LOR. Pick the second one from some other area.
This is my list of schools so far
Texas A&M (auto admit but not for major)
UT Austin (auto admit but not for major)
UCLA
University of Michigan
Northwestern
Duke
UNC Chapel Hill
Except for the two Texas colleges…this list is VERY top heavy. Many many very high achieving students apply to these colleges every year…like you. These schools simply don’t have spots for all of them to be accepted.
Someone else will need to clarify…but how hard is it to become a biology major at the two Texas colleges where you are auto admit?
You can major in biology at just about any college in this country (arts conservatories excluded).
If you are happy with attending the two Texas colleges where you are auto admit, then apply to a bunch of reaches and see what happens.
It sounds to me like you are not happy to attend either of the colleges in Texas. Why is that?
