Stats and EC’s are great. You should be fine. SAT is great. I’d look into maybe taking a Bio SAT II but that’s up to you.

Best of luck.

Chances seem pretty good. Essay will be a key as you are effectively applying to medical school as an 18 year old.

Is REMS for You?

You might be a good fit for REMS if you:

Are passionate about a career in medicine.
Take challenging classes (honors, AP, IB, college-level classes, etc.).
Do well academically (strong REMS applicants typically have a 3.95 unweighted GPA and rank in the top 3 percent of their graduating class).
Perform exceptionally well on standardized tests (SAT, ACT, and SAT Subject Tests).
Have medical experience (e.g., shadowing physicians, volunteering at a hospital, working for an ambulance corps/EMT program, participating in premedical summer programs, conducting research).
Are also involved in non-medical activities (e.g., leadership, music, athletics).

I will only chance you for regular, if for no reason other than BSc/MD programs being reaches for anyone. Some of these schools will only consider you for BSc/MD after you’re admitted to the college. Other schools will consider you for the college even if you’re rejected from the BSc/MD.

UCSD: Low match/Match
BU: Low match
URochester: Match
George Washington University: Low match/Match
Case Western: Low match (be prepared for waitlisting)
UMiami: Low match
UIllinois Chicago: Safety
Stony Brook: Safety
RPI: Low match

Pay attention to state residency for UCSD, UIC and Stony Brook; BSc/MD is only possible if you’re a resident of the state the school is in.

I am doing whole bunch of BS/MDs too! Your scores are amazing and hopefully you did some medical ECs since those are what BS/MD adcoms are looking for apparently. You should apply to variety of schools though (like from low BSMD to high BSMD) because I know some people who don’t get into ones like BU but get into REMS(REMS is one of the toughest out there) WHo knows what will happen? Good luck! Chance me back?

TBH, I think you should look into more reaches as well. With your stats, you might be able to get into schools like Brown or WUSTL who offer the same program and are great schools!
