Already got rejected from Baylor BS/MD(accepted UG), Case Western BS/MD(accepted UG), and GW(accepted UG).

I first need to admit that I do not know anyone who has applied to BS/MD programs. The closest I am to this (which is not all that close) is that I have a daughter who is currently studying to be a veterinarian (DVM). It appears likely that she will end up as a doctor for large animals.

The one thing that stands out to me on your list is “60 hours of Medical volunteering ongoing, 60 hours of shadowing”. Someone else might know better. However, to me this looks like a good start, but not enough to be certain that medicine is the right path.

In comparison, my daughter who is studying for a DVM had thousands of hours in a variety of veterinary situations before she applied to DVM programs. Typically a full time job for one year is about 2,000 hours, and she had more than twice this before sending in her applications and three times this before starting in a DVM program. (this might have been more than was strictly necessary)

Fortunately this is something that can be fixed while you are an undergraduate student. You can of course do some volunteering in medical situations while also being a student. Some students take time off between getting their bachelor’s and applying to MD programs to get additional experience.

Do plan to put a lot of effort into your premed classes. When my daughter was pre-vet, she was in a lot of the same classes and had quite a few friends who were premed students. You will find some tough classes and some very strong fellow students. Do not underestimate how demanding some of the tougher classes will be (for example, you might not want to start with the toughest class freshman year).

Also, I see that you are already accepted as an undergraduate student to three universities all of which have very good premed programs. To me this is encouraging, and is a reflection of the fact that you are a very strong student.

I replied to you in another thread. If possible get letters from medical volunteering. Case Wester UG results are out?

Hope you uploaded EMT Certification?
