Hello All. I was hoping for advice on my list of schools. I'll be applying to get in for Fall of 2010.
Physics major from Ivy League school. 3.8 GPA, 3.7 science GPA (had C- in freshman multivariable calc and nearly straight A's at everything else including advanced math and physics. Don't know if this helps or hurts when considering science gpa).
MCAT: 13P, 12V, 12B, Q
Teaching Assistant 10 hrs/week for 3 semesters.
Summer doing research at Columbia, 5 semesters research at school (no publications but good rec).
Volunteer 3 hrs/week at hospital for 1 year
Various small ECs, volunteering stuff
From MN
List:
Harvard
JHU
UPenn
UCSF
Duke
Stanford
Yale
Columbia
Michigan
UChicago
Cornell
Northwestern
Mayo
Brown
Mount Sinai
Dartmouth
Iowa
NYU
Minnesota
Georgetown
Boston U
Tufts
Mostly, I'm concerned about not having enough safety schools. Any suggestions on how I might fare and if this is too high of expectations? Any suggestions on quality match/safety schools? Thanks!
