Hello! I am currently a sophomore, and I am very interested in BU’s BA/MD program, and really want to go there in the fall of 2022. I just wanted to get feedback on how my chances are, but I think its too early to tell.

AP’s - World and Bio (have A-'s in both)
Future AP’s - Lang, Physics C: Mechanics, BC Calculus, Psychology, US History (Junior year); Literature, Gov. comparative, Statistics, chemistry, environmental science, computer science A (senior year)

Total: 13 AP’s

GPA: School doesn’t do UW, approximately 4.3 Weighted so far

not taken any standardized tests (SATs), planning to take Math 2 and actual SAT in august, Chemistry in October/November, attempting to earn seal of biliteracy on diploma.

Any recommendations for better AP’s to take?

Have you considered VCU’s BS/MD program? The VCU honors BS/MD program is really good and pretty competitive + you get in-state status. Med school is long and expensive, BU will cost a fortune while in-state VCU won’t be as much.

A suggestion, swap Physics C with AP Chem because 1) then you can have chem back to back, I’m assuming you are taking chem as a sophomore; 2) you will then have completed a year of calculus by the time you get to Physics C (also taking multivar would be helpful if you can).
