<p>I also shadowed Stanford medical students for 4 weeks at a free clinic and I am planning to volunteer at a hospice care place. </p>

<p>I want to know if I should even bother applying to Medical Programs (ie SD, Brown, Northwestern) & what my chances are. I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on your answers (why? What are my weaknesses?). Anything would help!!</p>

<p>Hi! I’m also thinking of applying to med programs. But, I would do some research in a lab. Northwestern especially looks for not only volunteering but actual research</p>

<p>UCSD: Reach
Brown PLME: Reach
NWU HPME: Reach</p>

<p>Maybe Stony Brook, UIC (if an Illinois resident), Penn State, GWU or Lehigh would be appropriate, too…</p>

<p>Based on my other stats, do you think I should even apply to Northwestern though? I know it’s REALLY difficult to get in and I don’t want to waste money applying to harder programs if there isn’t even a chance. Also, where did you do research? I have been looking into such opportunities but I haven’t been able to find any. I live in NorCal btw. And thanks so much for your reply!</p>

<p>Well you have the shadowing and volunteering in healthcare down. And hands down you will get into their undergrad program. I did research at a hospital. It might be a little late now though for you to get any :/. If you dont do research, i think NW is probably out, but ask other people and your counselors before you completely give it up!
Chance me back pleease!</p>
