I want to be a neruosurgeon in the long run. What colleges do you recommend that I can most likely get into?
If your test scores are at least 32 (ACT) / 1450 (SAT) then you should have a shot at virtually any college.
Scoring at least 30/1400 should make you competitive for most state flagships (among many other schools).
However, building a good reach-match-safety list is about much more than admission selectivity.
For most families, net cost is a key factor. Other more-or-less important factors may include the school location, size, and quality of programs for your intended major. The most important factors for med school admission will be your college GPA and MCAT scores; a prestigious college brand name doesn’t seem to improve chances too much. Unless your family is quite wealthy, you should try to minimize undergraduate net costs (since med school is so expensive). Your own in-state public flagship may be a good place to begin your search.
