<p>I will have three IB classes, 2 honors under my belt by the time I'm out of high school.</p>
<p>Is there any chance for me to get into a program?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your help.</p>
<p>What is your class rank?</p>
<p>...There is a chance... but honestly, a 3.4 is a little low, unless your recs and extra curriculars are amazing.</p>
<p>I honestly don't know what my class rank is. I don't find out until senior year.</p>
<p>Do you think you can provide more info? For example, tell us your EC's, SAT scores, etc.</p>
<p>well my SAT score is a 1850 and my ACT is a 33. So I'm sending my ACT.</p>

<p>It seems flaky, but it's the best I have.</p>
<p>If you take SATIIs, make sure to do well on them.</p>
<p>Do I need to take the SAT IIs?</p>
<p>Some require them, some don't. If I were you, I would try to take chem and the IIC.</p>
<p>Hm..I think I might do that.</p>
<p>Bump please..</p>
<p>heres the thing after applying to a bunch of program and finally geting into them heres my conclusion.
The whole point of the program is to get smart kids who otherwise wouldnt consider a university (mostly) That said academics are the single most important thing. That doesnt mean that u cant get in. But most colleges in the first step weed out average/poor/above average kids on the basis of scores. The other stuff comes in later. </p>
<p>Keep your grades up and try to do something out of the ordinary for extra curriculars that way you can makes your application stand out from the pack.</p>
<p>where do u want to go? u might not get into the top most rated med schools, but i think u might have a chance at UMKC maybe, I know someone from my school who had a 3.9 W and only like 1850 on his sat's and still got an interview. He then got wait listed into the program, ended up going to davis though. I think if you just get some good ec's before you apply u might have a solid chance. </p>
<p>O yea and make sure u write outstanding essay's, those help. =)</p>
<p>O and 3.4, is that weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>unweighted...it's not the best :(</p>
<p>As to where I want to go, I just want to know where I actually may have a decent shot at an acceptance. Nothing like HPME or PLME, but perhaps Drexel or Virginia Commonwealth?</p>
<p>Anyone else please?</p>
<p>3.4 looks worse in combo with ACT = 33, it tells that you had ability but did not work hard at school. My D. got into 3 programs but she was rejected from other 3, most not top rated at all. She was top of her class with 4.0 unweighted. She also had ACT=33, took it once. She had over 300 hours working in Med. research lab. Competition is fierce.</p>
<p>are you an IBDC?
that might help.</p>
