<p>Colleges: I already applied ED to Brown PLME, I am applying Regular Decision to: Emory University, NorthWestern HPME, George Washington BA/MD, WashU, and Yale</p>

<p>Tell me my chances!</p>

<p>And yes, I posted this thread before about two weeks ago, but only about two ppl replied.</p>

<p>Brown PLME - Reach
Emory University - Match
NorthWestern HPME - Reach
George Washington BA/MD - Safety
WashU - Slight Reach
Yale - Big Reach</p>

<p>Too many reaches. I suggest you drop Yale from your list, and add another match and another safety.</p>

3

<p>Agree with amptron. Your science score is going to kill you at the med programs. Did you try the Sat?</p>

4

<p>yea i took the SAT, but i'm not sending it, I got 800 M/ 600 CR/ 700 W/ 12 E</p>

<p>blah...</p>

5

<p>I think your SAT score is better. I suggest you send it instead of your SAT. And don't drop Yale from your list. You're far from a shoe in, but that doesn't mean you're not in the ballpark.</p>

6

<p>don't bother saying that you were invited to the leadership conference because colleges only care if you actually attend them. as for your chances:
gw- low match
emory- match
the rest are reaches
good luck though!</p>

<p>Well, are you native american or indian? Anyways, you have a minority advantage, plus excellent leadership skills, and an awesome amount of community service. My advice is to work on increasing your critical reading and SAT scores. If you apply for Yale now, and work hard on increasing your ACT, the deadline to take ACT for Yale is February, so you have lotsa time, you might have a chance. If you can get a 34 on the ACT, you might be set.</p>

8

<p>SATs are automatically sent. You dont have the option of withholding them.
:(</p>

9

<p>what do you mean? ^^^</p>

<p>I'm not sending my SAT scores at all, as most of my colleges will want 700+ on CR anyways...and what's this hubub about yale, that's like one of my last choices.</p>

10

<p>Here's the point with the SATs. If you ask the college board to send SAT or SAT2 scores to any school (and, as I remember, Brown requires 2), they send all of your SAT and SAT2 scores for all tests that you took. In short, if you asked the College Board to send SAT2 scores to Brown, Brown has your SAT scores as well.</p>

11

<p>yep. besides, your SAT score is pretty good, 2100/1400 is in the range for those schools.</p>

12

<p>You have to keep in mind what the OP pointed out: The CR score is still 600 despite the composite that's pretty decent. Granted, 600s a pretty good score, but for Yale? Brown? The OP has a point.</p>

13

<p>very little chance for yale and the like</p>

<p>0 chance at brown. I'm serious. 2% get in. While there is no sat cutoff, generally the admittees have monstrous scores like 2350+. SATs matter for med school a lot since med applicants have many more tests down the road. MCATs, licensing tests, etc. If you can't handle teh SAT, you have no chance for these special programs.</p>

14

<p>he got an 800 on the maths. you dont need an 800 CR for medicine</p>

15

<p>karan - brown plme is a 8 year program (ba/md). Think what you want, but the most competitive ones generally have cutoffs that are extremely high. Even a 2200 would be too low. Most have a minimum of 2250 or so. ba/md admissions are things you can just get in through writing an interesting essay or running fast. you are write. he doesn't need a 800, but he needs close to that.</p>

16

<p>um, the PLME average last year for SAT was 2197...... and ACT was 31</p>

<p>They reject really really high scores like 2350s</p>

<p>Besides, I'm not sending SAT reasoning or SAT IIs, as they are not required if you send ACT w/ writing</p>

17

<p>Can you make a case for a unique undergraduate program making use of Brown's open curriculum that would support your med studies?</p>

18

<p>2250 cutoff? lol.</p>

<p>I think with his ECs etc, he is in with a shout for getting into Brown.</p>

PLME Admissions at a Glance</p>

<p>As an example, in 2005-06, there were 1,651 applicants to the PLME. Of that number, 88 were offered admission to the PLME and an additional 99 were offered admission to other Brown degree programs. In fall 2006, fifty-five (55) matriculated in the PLME, and 56 matriculated in other Brown degree programs.</p>

<p>Students in PLME freshman classes were generally among the top one percent of their high school class. Students offered admission to the PLME for fall 2006 achieved an average score of 730 Critical Reading, 735 Mathematics, and 732 Writing on the SAT Reasoning Test.

<hr>

<p>Average SAT total: 2197
Average M+CR: 1465</p>

<p>Percentage of applicants accepted into PLME: 5.3%
Percentage of PLME applicants accepted into Brown: 11.3%</p>

<p>PLME is more difficult to get into than Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. Shobhit, I reiterate my intitial comment, with emphasis. Your stats are about average, even a tad below average, for applicants to PLME. You have at best, about a 5% chance of acceptance into PLME and an 11% chance of acceptence into Brown. In other words, PLME and Brown are reaches for you, as are Northwestern, WashU, and Yale. Although I wouldn't discourage your from applying to these schools - except for Yale, which is a really big reach - the reality is that most likely you'll end up at either Emory or GW. If you're fine with that, leave things as they are. If not, add another match school like Emory and another safety school like GW to your list.</p>

<p>haha yea, i just hope my essays will help me a lot ;)</p>
