I am currently in my 2nd month of Junior Year. I plan to get several positions in the honor societies and clubs within the year at my high school. Please give me any advice on applying to college and my chance of making it into these schools. Thank you:)

They are all big reaches. Especially if you are considering MD and DDS programs.

@nmanalil12

You have fair chances at some of the programs listed above. Since you are still a junior try to improve your SAT score. Or just submit the ACT. There is a thread going on for 2020 BS/MD applicants on college confidential that you may want to follow (or have your parents do) or post your queries.

Do you want to become a doctor or dentist? DDS and MD are very different professions

What programs did you get into?

I decided to stick with strictly Medicine and I am happy with the results.
