Female student, 2220 SAT, 3.85/4.45 GPA SAT II: Math II 800, US History 650 (3 APs this year, but I don't have scores yet)
Strong ECs in Math (several team awards at the national and Intl level, but not things like USAMO/IMO), likely NMSF (right on the California cutoff cusp), Yale Book Award and a few other good ECs; excellent LORs
Possible majors of interest: Math, Biology, Bio-Engineering, BS/MD programs
Areas of possible future interst: Psychiatry, mental health and medicine, and research
Which schools should be eliminated? We'd like to get the list down to 10-12 schools.
1. UC Berkeley
2. UCLA
3. Stanford (REA only)
4. Wheaton
5. UCSD
6. UC Davis
7. UC Irvine
8. UT Dallas (NM)
9. UT Arlington (NM)
10. USC (Not sure it's right fit)
11. University of Illinois Champaign
12, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
The following are some combined BS/MD programs:
12. University of Missouri (6 Year BS/MD program)
13. Brown University PLME (8 year program)
14. Howard University (6 year)
15. Boston University (7 year)
Finances are uncertain, but likely family will qualify for a decent amount of need-based, but not a huge amount.
I don't know anything about BS/MD programs, so can't really advise on this other than to know that these are very competitive, correct?
Thanks for the input.
