<p>Am I shooting too low?</p>

2

<p>oh gee, I don’t know. </p>

<p>Are you serious or is this another joke thread? This has gotta be a joke</p>

3

<p>UCSF is a graduate-level medical school.</p>

<p>Why are you asking this question? It seems like you haven’t answered a question wrong in your entire life.</p>

4

<p>Assuming you’re not another ■■■■■…</p>

<p>Unless you love those schools, you should shoot higher. Add a few reaches.</p>

5

<p>What school would be a reach? lol</p>

6

<p>Harvard, Princeton, Yale are reaches for everyone. That said, I’d say he/she still has a good chance. </p>

<p>But I highly doubt that this thread is for real, so whatever.</p>

7

<p>As a future brain surgeon, you seem ■■■■■■■■.</p>

<p>Please don’t become one for the benefit of the world.</p>

8

<p>“As a future brain surgeon, you seem ■■■■■■■■.”</p>

<p>I seem ■■■■■■■■? Lol, people should look up to you. Not a lot have the courage to be a dumbass.</p>

9

<p>you’ll be rejected at pretty much all of the schools you listed because they’ll think that they were your safety schools, so it looks like community college for you my friend…</p>

10

<p>In that case, I present a new question…NHCC or LCCC?</p>

11

<p>FIVEPOINT, no offense, but Gaffe is right. </p>

<p>You post 100% perfect stats, then ask us if a list of mostly average, middle-tier publics is shooting too low. That is a stupid thing to ask. With the exception of maybe UNC, all of those schools are complete safeties. </p>

<p>As for dizzydxz’s comment…well, the obvious solution wouldn’t be to go to community college, but rather, to apply to school that are actually at a competitive level for you.</p>

12

<p>The reason I chose the colleges I did is because of their medical programs. This is only undergraduate school. I’m confused why applying to public schools that are juggernauts in my field is ‘■■■■■■■■’. </p>

<p>This isn’t my forte, is it more logical for me to take a shot at some Ivies?</p>

13

<p>A quick look on these forums will tell you where you belong. If you had done that, you wouldn’t need to post this thread. You must not have noticed that a few people were skeptical of you. What would this be? Ignorance? Stupidity? Retardation - slowness of understanding and awareness?</p>

<p>My statement was a mere judgment of you that matched the mocking/ skeptic behavior others. You took that very personally and retaliated with your own comment; you only replied to my post and no one else’s.</p>

<p>

Exactly. So don’t go to a mediocre school that just happens to have a stand-out medical program. You aren’t going to be studying medicine as an undergrad. Rather, go somewhere more at your level where you’ll be adequately challenged and receive a great overall undergraduate education. Save the stand-out medical programs for your graduate degree.</p>

<p>(NOTE: I have nothing against any of those schools. All of them are fine institutions. It’s just that, if your stats are really that high, any of those schools will be far too easy and unsatisfying to you - at least at the undergraduate level.)</p>

<p>If he’s just a junior, how does he know what his GPA will be? And his SATs? You guys are feeeding the ■■■■■■.</p>

<p>Based on your credentials I see a future in manual labor</p>
