Chance me, 7 year med!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm going to be a junior in the coming school year and I aspire to go to a 7 year med program (not sure which yet haha)</p>

<p>Anyways, my academics:
Subject SATs: Bio 770 (going to retake)
Chem 800
Math II: going to take</p>

<p>SAT: Taking in October, aiming for a 2300+ (currently a 2200)</p>

<p>GPA: around 4.0 unweighted, and 4.3 weighted.
Freshman year: all honors, straight A's
Sophomore year: a B+ in World history honors, A- in driver's ed (ouch T-T). Still all honors.
Also took AP psychology self study (5)
Junior: planning to take APUSH, AP calc BC, AP lang, AP bio </p>

<p>ECs:
-2x Regional band
-Wind ensemble
-Brain Bee regional finalist
-EMT
-TA at local Chinese school
-VP of the Research Sci program (Waksman program)
-Published 5 DNA/protein clones onto the NCBI database
-Swimmer in freshman year</p>

<p>Junior year goals:
-At least a semifinalist for the USA Biology Olympics (Hopefully camp ^^)
-Brain Bee national finalist (hopefully internationals)
-National Merit for PSAT (I live in NJ so I think the score is about 223 to qualify for semifinals ): )
-A+ in AP bio
-Become president of Waksman
-Straight A's to redeem myself from that shameful B+ haha</p>

<p>I don't think I have much of a chance unless my studying for the Brain Bee and USABO pull through for me but chance me! :D</p>

<p>Also add to ECs: Piano (completed 8th grade ABRSM), black belt in Taekwondo (Poom certificate)</p>

<p>Does the fact that I’m Asian harm me too? /:</p>

<p>Depends on the 7-year med. If you’re talking about Villanova/Drexel, no. If you’re talking about Rutgers, then I am not so sure.</p>

<p>Villanova/Drexel: Reach (but it’s reachable; Villanova regular is a safety - Villanova wants to score more diversity points)
Rutgers SAS/SEBS: Safety (Rutgers/Rutgers Med requires one to apply for the accelerated program at the end of sophomore year instead)</p>

<p>Ah. Any out of jersey schools I might be able to qualify for?</p>

5

<p>Pay attention to state residency if public OOS 7-year med programs are for you. I know for a fact that UIC GPPA is a high reach (read: unreachable) because you’re OOS but here are some 7-year meds:</p>

<p>RPI: Reach
GWU: Reach
Tulane TAP-TP: Match (pay attention to the interview)</p>

<p>Ah thanks for your help! Hopefully I’ll make myself a bit more competent during junior year haha</p>
