<p>I am planning on applying to bs/md programs this fall . Do I have a good chance at any bs/md program?
these are my stats: 760- cr 740 -math 750- writing
2250 sat
sat 2s- chem(700) bio (720) math (750)
volunteering nursing home- 100 hours
volunteering substance abuse program- 100 hours
publish a paper on substance abuse
- various school clubs
gpa- 4.3 (weighted)</p>
<p>What is your ethnic? If you are an African american or Latino, then you have a great chance based on our grade.</p>
<p>Your SATII needs to improve, esp. Chemistry and Bio. If you want to be more competitive, shoot for 780-800.</p>
<p>your SAT is ok i think. >2300 is better.
your Weighted GPA is not that high.</p>
<p>apply broadly, you may have chance.</p>
<p>^lol I don’t think anyone can comment on the weighted gpa without knowing the school’s gpa system.</p>
<p>You’d have a shot at some low-mid teir bs/mds but top tier ones may be out of reach, esp. given weaker SAT IIs.</p>
<p>^how do u think what is his GPA system? any difference? from another planet?</p>
<p>unweighted highest is 4.0, weighted can be as high as 4.9… depending how many AP classes the school provide.</p>
<p>^you can really say that because ive seen some schools that go to 5 or even 6.0 weighted gpa</p>
<p>^ tell me which high school give out weighted GPA 6, i have never heard, maybe i am wrong.</p>
<p>I know high schools that weight AP courses out of 6.0, weighted GPA is worthless for that reason, progs will only consider your unweighted. </p>
<p>Your stats seem decent to me, increasing those SAT2s would definitely help, and you might be able to add some shadowing or hospital volunteering to strengthen your app over the summer. Even as is, you look competitive for the easier programs.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA is not considered due to the reasons others have provided. Using the unweighted GPA also removes the bias of some schools having more AP classes available than others. Just call any admission’s counselor and they will tell you.</p>
<p>All academys (special schools at high school level) counts the GPA at 6.0 scale. All these schools teaches at college level, have few APs each year and all other subjects at honors level</p>
<p>My school weights APs as 6
Honors as 5
and regular as 4
…justsayin</p>
<p>^^thank you</p>
<p>Hey guys, my UNWEIGHTED gpa is 4.0</p>
<p>I am also shadowing a doctor and plan to get research this summer. I plan on retaking sat 2s for 750+ in november</p>
<p>Adding hospital volunteering to that would help your app out too if you can</p>
<p>750+ is a good range for most programs, and for some exams getting close to an 800 is probably a good idea. Look at the accepted students threads to see what a good SAT2 is.</p>
<p>I think that you have an awesome chances. But acceptance to all of them is really mostly luck as most others would have about the same stats as you and many would have many more ECs, like sport, art, music,…writing awards…
Apply to wide range and see what happen, do not feel down if not accepted, most are getting to Med. School “regular route” anyway.</p>
