P.S. Will the fact that i’m African American help me out with my chances of getting in at all?
I think you have a very solid chance, considering your scores, variety of activities, and ranking. And yes, your race will help you a bit because you are considered a minority applicant, and universities and colleges take that into account. Have you taken any other AP tests other than AP Euro?
@thahgsa5 yes I did but they weren’t very good. I got mainly 4’s.
Do you think I’d still have a solid chance if I were to switch and apply for a BS/MD program at NEOMED or Howard or Drexel for example?
