<p>I’m a white male from a midwest state with a prospective BME interest, how do I fare for these schools:</p>

<p>Harvard
Cal Tech
MIT
University of Chicago
UPenn
Northwestern
JHU
Duke</p>

<p>Bump! Help me out people</p>

3

<p>Good chances at all of them. Got any safeties?</p>

4

<p>Yeah, my state flagship. Anybody have potential match ideas?</p>

5

<p>Just out of curiosity, do you throw both shot and disk? and what’s your PR(s)?</p>

6

<p>Yeah, but I’m more of a disc guy. I threw 171’ in the disc and 39’ in the shot</p>

<p>You look pretty good for most of your schools. Great stats, ECs, etc. Harvard and Caltech are still a bit elusive for anyone, even for someone with as great stats as you. Hopkins and Duke have one of the top programs for BME so they could be a bit more difficult but I still think that you have great shots at both of them. Especially with the athletics, you could definitely pursue recruitment at DIIIs. Good luck! :slight_smile: Chance me please? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1358111-updated-please-chance-me-any-all-schools-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1358111-updated-please-chance-me-any-all-schools-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You’ll probably get into them all.
Just incase you wanted to look at some other schools, you should check out Stanford, Cal, UCLA, Harvey Mudd. </p>

<p>Good luck!
Chance me back?
