<p>I'm a junior in high school. Hopefully, u guys can help me with this. What colleges do you think I have the best chance to apply too dealing with the BA/MD programs? Here r my grades and etc..</p>
<p>ACT-27
GPA-3.8 out of 4 (top 15 percent)
Rank=60 out of 500</p>
<p>Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.</p>
<p>that ACT looks a little low. why don't you give the SAT a try?</p>
<p>im takin the SAT in june, and my ACT from feb is 28, still not that great, but its alright cuz some programs have 28 minimum but do they take any ppl with minimums? what are the easiest BA/MD program to get into?</p>
<p>act is low, as is rank, and GPA if your school weights.</p>
<p>you haven't posted anything else (like AP scores, classes, ECs, etc) but it doesn't look good.</p>
<p>there really aren't any BA/MD programs that are "easy" to get into; however, some of the lower-level ones include drexel, temple, RPI, albany, sienna (I think). there are some other mid-tier programs, but in all reality, they are all VERY difficult to get into.</p>
<p>There isn't really enough information, but your stats do seem to be a bit low for BA/MD programs.</p>
<p>I got a 3 on AP World History Exam. I plan on taking APUSH Exam this friday. Next year, 3 AP Classes as of now-AP CALC, AP BIO, and AP Chem. I am taking the ACT twice more and waiting for one of them while I'll be taking the SAT once more also in order to improve. I am in lot of activities and cpl sports.</p>
<p>just focus on getting 2250+ on the SAT. my personal opinion is that it looks better if you can score well on the SAT than on the ACT.</p>
<p>wow that's a high score, I'll try my best though. Wish me good luck!</p>
<p>when are you taking the exam? if you have the summer to prepare, I would recommend dedicating that time to prepare--take all the practice tests offered by the college board. The SAT is all practice. If you do all the practice problems you can possibly get your hands on, you should have no trouble getting a high score. You don't have to be smart to do well on the SAT, you just need to be willing to work hard. Trust me, I know from experience. Let me know if you need more detailed advice on how to prepare.</p>
<p>ACT in June/Sep.
SAT in June
Waiting for one ACT result.</p>
<p>I think I have plenty more opportunities to get a higher score. I should start studying this weekend. Are u in medical school if u dont mind?</p>
<p>I just finished my freshman year of college (VCU/MCV 8 year program). If possible, I would highly recommend taking the SAT in October or November. That would give you the entire summer to study. I went from 2070 on the May test to a 2310 on the November test, all because I pushed myself during the summer. I really encourage people to take this approach.</p>
<p>son of liberty, How do you recommend studying over the summer. thanks in advance</p>
<p>make sure you have all the collegeboard materials you can get your hands on. I had the Blue Book of practice tests, the Red Book of the "old SAT" practice tests, and access to the CB online course. This provided me with I think around 15 full length practice tests, and many extra passages/problem sets through the red book. Basically, I didn't spend any time learning "strategies"--I just practiced. I probably took 1 full length practice test a week starting a couple months before the exam, and I broke up my remaining practice tests so that I would have practice sections to work on every day.</p>
<p>The important thing to do is to do practice sections every day to build up your speed for both math and CR. I also canned examples that I could twist for almost every topic of the writing prompt. Remember, what you say in the writing prompt does not have to be factually accurate--it just has to sound reasonable and has to be written eloquently. </p>
<p>collegeboard uses the same type of problems over and over again, so after you do enough practice material from them, you will get used to what kinds of methods to use to solve their problems. I tried to avoid using third party practice material because I found that they rarely gave accurate representations of CB questions. However, if you do find yourself needing more material, I recommend the princeton review's stuff, since I found their questions to be more accurate than Kaplan's.</p>
<p>In any case, the bottom line is consistent practice.</p>
