I do not know much about these programs besides that they are “selective”. But just how selective are they? My cousin moved here from Taiwan less than 4 years ago and is looking into these programs.
just how selective are programs such as Boston University, Johns Hopkins, Brown, Rice/Baylor, and are there any others? Im wondering about average SAT scores, how many they usually accept, so on. If you know anything about these programs, any information will be helpful. Thank you!
<p>I don't believe that Hopkins has one (correct me if I'm wrong); they have a very selective BME program though. They're VERY difficult to get into. I didn't apply for one b/c I'm not sure if I want to be a doctor, but the people applying for them are all of high calibier. They're very few slots (ex. one of my friends got into one at Pittsburg with only 5 spots selected from 100+ students) for many applicants. I believe that they're even harder to get into than the top Ivies (or at least it's equally as hard.)</p>
<p>U of Rochester has an 8 year program called Rochester Early Medical Scholars. It's like 10 or 15 spots for more than 500 applicants.</p>
<p>i applied to rice/baylor, brown, and wustl...rejected from all
they're VERY competitive</p>
<p>I think BU has an accelerated medical program.. you should check it out.</p>
<p>what was your sat, gpa LAgal</p>
<p>They are very, very competitive - all that I know of have acceptance rates below 10% - some much less. I applied to the one at the University of Miami which is one of the "easier" ones - REJECTED. Programs at schools at Northwestern, Brown, Vandy, etc. needless to say are uber-hard to get into.</p>
<p>EXTREMELY selective; indeed, most kids accepted to such a program have the stats and resume to be accepted at HYPSM....</p>
<p>USC has one, but Hopkins, no way.</p>
<p>virginia commonwealth university at richmond has one. its also very selective. i think about 36 spots offered. average sat is about 1460s.... but i think what they mostly focus on is medical experience like volunteering and such. my friend got it. he was on the rescue squad and volunteered in hospital, eagle scout, but not a high sat score. good gpa.</p>
<p>illinois institute of technology has one ( guranteed to chicago med school )
its "easier" to get into too</p>
<p>usc’s is called Keck University of Medicine; its 8 years. but only thirty spots; average sat score is like 2300 with about a 2-3% admit rate. its almost impossible to get in</p>
