You do realize that you must be top of the class (10-15 percentile) to be accepted into these Universities? Most people who attend have been planning and preparing to go there since middle school. So if you are, great for you! But if not, have some other schools to fall back on.

Answer by Richard F
Just to be clear, you do understand that the graduate school you are talking about is medical school. And your psychiatry specialty is after that. I think it great to have goals. It helps you to achieve. You might consider learning to express your self in less abrasive terms. You will get some training in this. Not much, just enough to keep you out of some trouble. Get a head start on it now.

Answer by clementyan
You do realize that there is no such thing as a psychiatry degree in the USA or Canada. Psychiatry is medical specialty dealing with mental health. You need to be a medical doctor first before you enter a residency program in psychiatry to be trained as a psychiatry.

The universities you listed offer good medical education except Princeton (which does not have a medical school).

If you are pursuing a degree in Psychology, then yes, all of the above are great schools.

These are good choices. Just score high on SAT and have a GPA higher than 4.3 if you want to compete well. They don’t care about your IQ unless you’re in MENSA (like me). And as for Princeton, you’ll either need to be filthy rich or distinguish yourself like submitting an academic paper in a journal, winning lots of awards, etc.
