7	Direct Path Programs
8	George Washington Univ.	Direct entry program and I think her profile (34 ACT, 19 AP/H classes/4.6gpa) would make her pretty compelling to them
9	Univ. of Rochester	A very competitive 8 year medical program called REMS
10	Univ of Pittsburgh	7 yr med program - they have a highly selective guaranteed admission program (I have a Stanford admit that wasn’t offered GAP) but the Pitt undergraduate program is outstanding, and high achievers may be good candidates for Schreyer Honors College. Pittsburgh, as a city, is a life sciences hub.

13	Great (and {maybe} slightly less selective) Programs:
14	Lehigh	They added a College of Health, and a number of my pre-med interested students are finding they really like the idea of adding coursework and/or a minor in public health. Also, tons of research opportunities available at Lehigh starting as early as first year.
15	Case Western	Cleveland Clinic name drop could help; "you can always apply for PPSP" if student has significant medical experience and needs to feel special. The program is selective but if applying for PPSP gets them to apply at all...	Really, really good STEM programs and strong advising in pre-med. Plus with the Cleveland Clinic right there students can get critical volunteer and internship experience. I actually had an aspiring pre-med student last year choose Case over Wash U, mostly for this reason (and because they gave him more money).
16	Wake Forest
17	University of Miami	https://med.miami.edu/medical-education/medical-programs/dual-degree-program-in-medicine-(medical-scholars-program)
18	Tulane
19	Bucknell
20	Oberlin
21	Drexel	Accelerated Med Program
22	Macalester
23	Univ. of Richmond	https://prehealth.richmond.edu/prospective-students/acceptance.html
24	University of California's	If students are interested in larger public schools (though some of these aren't exactly "likely")	UCLA, Cal, UCSD, UCDavis and UCI have strong pre-med programs.
25	UNC Chapel Hill	If students are interested in larger public schools (though some of these aren't exactly "likely")
26	Clark University	Good program
27	Franklin and Marshall	Good program
28	East Carolina University	has an early assurance program for physicians.
29	Rice	BS/MD program; has been appealing to some of my really strong pre-med kids
30	Trinity University in Texas	They have some terrific scholarship programs, and really a tremendous faculty as well. I was interested to learn while visiting there last week (in conjunction with NACAC) just how many faculty at Rice University send their children to Trinity. I think it is partly due to a tuition exchange program but, still, it speaks to the quality of what Trinity is offering.
31	Washington U in St. Louis	BS/MD program - among the pseudo-Ivies... but for pre-med... it might merit a look.
32	UC Riverside	While she may turn up her nose at this good option, Perhaps the direct=entry program could sweeten the pot?
33	Univ. of Missouri-Kansas City	While this may stink even more, this college has an outstanding six-year medical program.
34	Emory	Not a safety, but she looks good for their stats.
35	Barnard	Smaller Liberal Arts Colleges and women's colleges - Basically on Columbia's campus	You could make the argument that smaller colleges means less competition for research opportunities, closer relationships with faculty > stronger recommendations, etc. etc. And women's colleges are particularly well-suited to support women in STEM fields.
36	Wellesley	Smaller Liberal Arts Colleges and women's colleges - You could make the argument that smaller colleges means less competition for research opportunities, closer relationships with faculty > stronger recommendations, etc. etc. And women's colleges are particularly well-suited to support women in STEM fields.
37	Smith	Smaller Liberal Arts Colleges and women's colleges - You could make the argument that smaller colleges means less competition for research opportunities, closer relationships with faculty > stronger recommendations, etc. etc. And women's colleges are particularly well-suited to support women in STEM fields.
38	Hamilton	This school isn’t exactly “easy” to get into, but most of the NESCACs have great programs that lead to pre-med. I know we know this is a great school, but whether they resonate with student…
39	Middlebury	This school isn’t exactly “easy” to get into, but most of the NESCACs have great programs that lead to pre-med. I know we know this is a great school, but whether they resonate with student…
40	Williams	This school isn’t exactly “easy” to get into, but most of the NESCACs have great programs that lead to pre-med. I know we know this is a great school, but whether they resonate with student…
41	Amherst	This school isn’t exactly “easy” to get into, but most of the NESCACs have great programs that lead to pre-med. I know we know this is a great school, but whether they resonate with student…
42	Penn State University	direct admit medical option, also strong in these fields
43	Carleton	I would also try to get a student like this to consider any top liberal arts college, even some of the most selective ones. I tend to think that even in a very selective admissions process it is just a touch easier to stand apart.
44	Lafaytte	I would also try to get a student like this to consider any top liberal arts college, even some of the most selective ones. I tend to think that even in a very selective admissions process it is just a touch easier to stand apart.
45	Denison	I would also try to get a student like this to consider any top liberal arts college, even some of the most selective ones. I tend to think that even in a very selective admissions process it is just a touch easier to stand apart.
46	Union	Early Assurance Program: 7-yr med program; https://www.union.edu/health-professions/early-assurance-program-albany-medical-college-1
47	Michigan
48	UVA
49	USC	BA/MD programs
50	Tufts	BA/MD programs
51	Duke	BA/MD programs
52	UW	BA/MD programs
53	Georgetown	BA/MD programs; They will admit top kids in RD with this profile. If REA/ED doesn’t workout, the student's tune might change.
54	Johns Hopkins	BA/MD programs
55	William & Mary	I had another student like the one you are describing who finally added W&M at the last minute, and while it is certainly another really selective place for pre-med students, that's where she ended up and she has settled in really well there.
56	Univ. of Vermont	Their honors college is another one our students will sometimes consider
57	McGill	For strong test takers, McGill could be a good option if they are open to going to Canada.
58	St. Andrews	Now ranked #1 in the UK and older than the Ivies!
59	Boston College	They will admit top kids in RD with this profile. If REA/ED doesn’t workout, the student's tune might change.
60	Muhlenberg College	Early Assurance Program: https://www.muhlenberg.edu/admissions/templemedprogram/
61	UTDallas	Not-so-selective, science-heavy college with a stellar (and uber competitive) elite scholarship program: McDermott Scholars Program. The McDermott routinely recruits students who have Ivy & other highly competitive options but elect to enroll at UTD because of the unbelievable financial support and opportunities they provide for their scholars. UTD's Honors College is also excellent, and if she wasn't selected for the McDermott, I feel like she'd be a great candidate for it.
62	Stevens Institute of Technology	Accelerated Program
