Hello everyone! I would really appreciate if you could suggest safety, matches or reaches. I’m getting a bit confused with all the universities since there are so many and I can’t seem to choose. I would really love to know your opinion.

I’m from Boston, Mass. I’m applying to Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern University, U. Michigan, U. Southern California, Santa Clara U., Villanova, with NYU and John Hopkins as high reaches.

Not much community service to be honest though I’ve been volunteering as a patient representative for about 12 weeks now one day per week and a couple of months/weeks work experience shadowing doctors and surgeons (I’m planning to become a doctor) but I don’t think that will make much of a difference? Not sure.

Please let me know what you think and if you think some of these may be reaches for me! Suggestions for safeties, matches, reaches WELCOME! THANK YOU :)
