As for Duke, I suspect it has plenty of other things to offer you if premed does not pan out. You may wish to add Rice to the list as well as Vanderbilt. I’m suggesting them because both offer significant merit aid to some students (but it isn’t simply a matter of test scores, and we don’t know all that much about you). Vanderbilt’s BME program is pretty well regarded, and more than a few of the BME students are planning on med school.

Vanderbilt is not really a safety anymore even for someone with high test scores, but its acceptance rate of 19% this year still makes it a safer bet than HYPS.

If you don’t like the idea of CA, why would you apply to Stanford?
