BS/DO program at MSU. Chances?

Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics

<p>Ok,
I'm a rising junior (class of 2010)
4.0 UW GPA, Newsweek Top 10 School (doesn't count for much but whatever)
I am VP of Model UN, Prez and founder of Spanish club, and secretary of Stu. Gov.
Also, I have 150+ volunteer hours, 100 of which are at a local nursing home, and I do Youth Symphony.
Further, I will be shadowing a DO this year for at least 24 hours, but most likely around 50.
Assuming I get great recs and do well on the SAT and ACT, what are my chances of getting in at the BS/DO program at MSU?
Next summer I will either be doing Telluride (if I get in) or I will be doing medical research. Would you recommend one over the other?
Finally, does anyone know how selective the BS/DO program is? I assume it is pretty selective, but I imagine that is less selective than the BS/MD program at MSU. If there are any admitted applicants out there, would you mind sharing your stats?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>we need to know your SATs/APs/SAT 2's to really chance you...
dont worry, youre a rising junior! keep up good grades (all A's if you can!) and do well on your standardized tests, and then let us know!</p>

<p>^ Thanks! I am more concerned about the volunteering aspect. I do a lot at the nursing home, but I don't have a nearby hospital to volunteer at and therefore I don't have awesome hospital experience. I really hope that the admissions people don't hold that against me.
As for APs, I'm actually all IB, but I am taking 3 sciences so I think that shows my passion for science and for medicine.
I'm sure I will be back in a year asking for people to chance me as I start to actually stress over the actual application.</p>
