<p>Hey there, I have a thread here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1429260-am-i-doomed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1429260-am-i-doomed.html</a> talking about my personal situation and how it has affected academically and personally.</p>
<p>Brief Summary (this is what it will look like at the end of next year):
2000 SAT
31 ACT
2.8-3.1 cumulative (some grades are still being worked out)
Taken over 6 APs
Involved in ECs for 2 years at school + outside programs
Unique family situation</p>
<p>So with these stats (they are a rough guesstimation of what I will have at the end of next year), what are some reaches for me that have good biology/pre-med programs? What about matches or safeties?</p>
<p>Try using the CC search engine available on the main CC site.</p>
<p>Why would someone who will be pre-med really wanting reaches? When pre-med a student should want to be at the top of his class…not be one who - by luck - got accepted.</p>
<p>What schools are your safeties? Are these schools that you know FOR SURE that you have ALL costs covered? If not, then those aren’t safeties. </p>
<p>what are your match schools? </p>
<p>Keep in mind that many of the schools that give the best aid will require your dad’s financial info. Will he provide that? Will he pay his fair share?</p>
<p>Because obviously I won’t be the top of my class when I graduate HS; I probably won’t be in the top 25%. But that doesn’t accurately reflect upon me. My freshman year grades are the only thing preventing me from being in the top 10%. I don’t believe I’ll get into ivies or any renown undergrad, so thats why I’m trying to see what i CAN get into besides my state school. My dad will cover his share if they ask. </p>
<p>For my safeties (I really only have 1 right now); I have Oregon State, still looking for more.</p>
