<p>I want to be a pediatrician so I am really looking for a school with a GOOD medical program.
I really want to get into ANY IVY LEAGUES, good private schools or the top 3 UC SCHOOLS.</p>

<p>Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>You are right that you are worried, because you have a very small chance of getting into any college out there.</p>

<p>Maybe I missed it, but are you OOS for the UC’s? I ask because 3.72 seems low for an instate UC GPA given your grades.</p>

<p>Assuming you are OOS, I think you have a good shot at the UC’s (I know people say it’s harder to get in if you’re OOS, but the schools themselves say it isn’t so) and as good a shot as anyone at all the rest, as long as you shine in your essays and hit your mark on the test scores. Keep up the hard work!</p>

<p>Thank you schmoomcgoo…I am in state.
and Beretta9mm…what do you mean by any colleges out there?
I know I dont have the best grades but I’m sure I am very eligible.</p>

<p>Out of State</p>

<p>I think Beretta is being facetious.</p>

<p>Remember that the Ivy League schools do not have undergraduate medical programs. You choose a concentration such as biology or chemistry, and apply to graduate medical school during your college senior year. What is most important is to maintain a very high GPA in your sciences, which can be difficult at highly competitive Ivies, some of which (Princeton) have a policy of grade deflation, capping the number of A’s in a class at around 25%.</p>

<p>Have you looked at any schools that do have a joint B.A./M.D. program? Wash U at St.Louis has a good one, as well as many state schools. </p>
