Hello all, I am relatively new to these forums. I have finished my Common Application and I am now stuck deciding who I want to apply to. I have a few colleges in mind but I am fairly sure I won’t even get accepted (UMich, UMiami). Nobody in my family has experience with this so, naturally, I have only the slightest idea how to choose a college. There are plenty I would apply to only if I got a higher ACT score, but since I am not retaking it until December or thereabouts, I am stuck with this score.

I want to be a Pediatrician or Physician (Major in Biology)
I have a 3.7 GPA right now
Took AP Bio, taking AP Physics and AP Gov now
I live in Michigan and don’t want to travel to the West for College (South is fine)

So based on my major, GPA/ACT what colleges should I be considering? Thanks a ton!
