Invited to Scripps Cali for interview....exciting!

After seeing all of these stats, I'm expecting this to be a "fun"/stressful application season. As per the question of safety schools, I'm actually planning on taking a year and applying to medical school if I don't get accepted to the programs I applied to.

To facilitate the discussion, I guess I'll give my numerical stats: GRE: 1400 composite (>700 quant) GRE Chem: 95% GPA: 4.0 at R1 university ~10 grad courses 3 years of research (2 different research groups) 1 summer research project 1 publication in a specialized journal (not 1st author...) My letters will be great. We shall see if these are good enough for where I applied.

I will be. Applying to Scripps, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, MIT.
