*Updated* Please chance me for Biochem major at Vandy, Rice, others as a TX resident! [no rank, 97.42 GPA, 1530 SAT]

Merit will be hard - and if I wanted merit, I’d remove Hopkins - and maybe go with a Miami or Case Western. Hopkins will be hard aid wise…all will be hard but it’s possible.

In your case, you’ll likely be at SMU or UT - given the budget and need for merit.

Good luck.
