<p>chances are ok...need higher SAT...need higher GPA too but you can't really do anything about that---minimal requirements are >3.5uw and >4.0 wieghted</p>

<p>keep looking around the forum, you'll learn a lot more about each individual program</p>

<p>There are a couple programs (BU, Rutgers, TCDMNJ?) that specifically target New Jersey residents, so maybe look into those?</p>

<p>Thanks guys!
- Really appreciate the feedback. Will retake SAT this Oct
- Considering a worst case scenario i.e if I were to go with existing scores and forget the accelerated/guarenteed programs can you recommend good pre-med schools I can apply to based on my current performance ?</p>

<p>I was considering
Boston College
Rutgers</p>

<p>Everybody else that I have read on CC are saying that undergrad GPA and MCAT are most important to apply to Med. School. They are more important that the name of undergrad. school. Moreover, GPA=4.0 (or very close) and MCAT close to 40 will get you pretty much anywhere.
On the other hand, going to some elite undergrad might possibly lower your GPA. So you are the only one who can evaluate that.</p>
