BS/MD programs

<p>What are my chances into getting into a BS/MD program? Any specific programs that i should attempt or are a good match for me? I know these programs are extremely competitive and rigorous, but it truly have a passion for medicine. Any help/comments would be appreciated. Here are my stats...</p>

<p>State of residence: Michigan
GPA: 4.0 unweighted, i dunno weighted
Rank: 1(out of 604)
ACT: 30 but shooting for a 33
SATI: - will take soon
PSAT: 192
SAT II: Math2-710 Bio-770
I've taken AP Bio and AP Calc as a junior, i'll be a senior soon and will take AP Chem, dual enroll in Calc II and III and might take AP History. No scores yet :(</p>

<p>Health experience: Physician shadowing (50+)
Nursing home (100+)
Medical Research (250 +)
Volunteering: Big Brother once a week, Hindu Temple (50+)
Freshman tutor (plan to be next year)
EC's: NHS, Chess club, UNITE club, and Anime Club (of course lol)
Work Experience: Kumon, tutoring kids on math and reading</p>

<p>My first choice is Michigan State's Med Scholars program, and my second is Wayne State's MedStart. Please also evaluate my chances for getting into these programs.</p>

<p>You'd look pretty good once you bring your ACT test score up. MSU and Wayne State's programs aren't the most competitive BS/MDs and your being a Michigan resident will help.</p>

<p>Thanks! I will try my best to study for the ACT, my practices at home show around 32/33 but then again, they are just practices... the actual is always harder, plus ur under pressure.</p>

<p>bump...........</p>

<p>bump.....................................................!!!</p>

<p>It's tough to say without the SAT scores. Post again once you have your SATs.
I think the first qualifier is the SAT score, then the ranking and GPA.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks, i'll be sure to do that.</p>

<p>I got my AP scores back! Bio-5 Calc AB-5</p>

<p>get an ipod. it makes life easier.</p>

<p>Thanks for soooo much help dry99! God damn it, can i get some actual feed back!</p>

<p>bump.....!!!!</p>

<p>hey man......im ur fellow michigander lol. i already told u ur chances whn u messaged me but man wher do u find the research????</p>

<p>Go to a large hospital, sign up to volunteer, and request to work in their research department... they usually wont let anyone under 18 do it, but i got lucky cuz my dad is a doctor and all, but i'm sure if you make a good impression, they'll let you in.</p>

<p>thanks man ill definitely try it......even tho the hospital i volunteer at is really really gay</p>

<p>gay, as in happy?</p>
