Colleges

Though I've dedicated this blog mainly to my passion for baking, realistically, it's probably not a likely career option for me. I'm currently aiming to go to medical school and become a dermatologist, and I'm considering majoring in Biomedical Sciences, Biostatistics, or Chemistry, depending on the school. Though I've had colleges in mind to apply to since freshman year, now that applications are really coming, I've had to really solidify my choices and narrow it down, though I'm still applying to many colleges. I'd like to go somewhere in the East Coast, preferably an Ivy League school, but I'm also looking at UCs and other schools in California. Currently, I am planning on applying to University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Brown, UCLA, UC Davis, UCSD, and Stanford, which are some of the most selective schools in the country. Though the likelihood of me getting into these schools is very slim, I would consider UPenn, Cornell, and Stanford my top choices (in that order), because of the extensive programs they have (Biomedical Sciences at UPenn, Biometry and Statistics at Cornell, and Chemistry at Stanford), in addition to their reputation as some of the top ranked schools in the country. I am also interested in the highly selective Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME) at Brown, which offers admission to Brown for both undergrad studies and medical school. There's so many choices, it's a bit overwhelming, but as the likelihood of getting into any of these schools is small, I doubt I'll have to choose between my too choices--hopefully I can just get into one of them.
