<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I just finished my junior year and, like most of you on this site, I am racking my brains to figure out what college I want to go to. Case's ppsp program is really appealing to me and I was just wondering if it was realistic for me to even dream of getting in. My GPA is around a 3.93 (not sure if weighted or unweighted) and my SAT score is a 2070 (I didn't really study so I'm retaking in the fall for at least a 2200). I really don't have too many extracurriculars but I have been at case my whole life. I took a geometry class over the summer there. I was in one of the engineering buildings when I was on my school's robotics team (FRC) and now I am completing my third year of research at a lab at Case. I am a published research author, I have three or four publications now and should have six by the time I graduate. I am also planning on volunteering at a local hospital for a year. If anyone has had any sort of experience with the ppsp program please give me some feedback on how I look as an applicant or what I can do to make myself more appealing as a candidate. Thank you and good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>anybody at all have any info?</p>
<p>Your EC’S are quite impressive. If you are applying for medicine (which I assume you are) then they are definitely relevant. Your SAT score is actually fine for Case; my sister is going there next year and it’s not a very competitive school in terms of scores–I think hers were lower than yours. Good luck! Could you chance me for Princeton, please? Thanks!

<p>When applying to medical school, the interviewers/admission counselors want to see proof that you know full well what you are getting yourself into, and that in 4 years, you will not be having second thoughts about matriculating. Committing yourself to a post-baccalaureate career while still in high school is a serious thing. The more years of shadowing, job experience, clinical volunteer experience, etc., the better you will be.</p>
