<p>Please suggest if I missed any other college. </p>
<p>BSMD admissions are so competitive that they’re often very arbitrary. You have the stats, so as long as you can speak very convincingly about why you want to go into medicine through a BSMD program, you should be in good shape. As a side note, the first one I would personally drop from that list is Rice/Baylor because they instituted an MCAT requirement that you get the equivalent or higher than the average MCAT score of the incoming Baylor class…which is like a 36 at Baylor</p>
<p>my concern right now is:
since I have SAT subject test scores which I would be reporting, if I don’t report my SAT scores(2160) will it imply that I must have low scored that is why I did not report. Instead I will be reporting ACT 34 scores.</p>
<p>should I retake SAT again to get the score in high 2200 or low 2300? (although my ACT 34 is equivalent to SAT 2250) are there any colleges that prefer SAT over ACT?</p>

<li>That link has 2009 data. The admit rate in 2014 is only half of that in 2009.</li>
<li>The data are for the enrolled, not admitted. The admitted pool had higher stats (many of them chose HYPS instead).<br></li>
</ol>
<p>Even if you don’t recognize the two points above, you should still figure that 2,160 translates to 1,440 on a 1,600-point scale, which is still lower than the midpoint of 1,360 - 1,530 = 1,445. </p>
<p>Hello fellow SoCal resident! Your stats are almost exactly like my friend’s, except she is involved in a sport. Could you give us some more details about your ecs? I suspect the reason why most people are not replying is that you’re not giving us enough information for us to accurately judge you (well as accurately as chance threads go anyway, which isn’t saying much).</p>
<p>Honestly, I think that if you write a compelling essay you have a chance at these programs. Most BS/MD applicants have similar stats anyway. Btw, some of the programs you put there are only for instate residents. For example, I believe that Brooklyn College/SUNY-Downstate Medical Center is only for residents of NY and some other states in the NE. </p>
<p>Hey guys
I’m currently a rising high school senior and am very interested in applying to a few accelerated premed programs (though not the crazy ones like in Brown). I just wanted to know what my chances are and how I could improve?
GPA - 3.95
Rank - Top 5-10%
SAT - 2250 Reading and Math (800 Math, 660 Reading, 790 Writing) - Will take it again and get at least 700 Reading guaranteed (I took the SAT last March and I’ve significantly improved this summer)
SAT II - Physics 760, US History 750, Math (1) 730, Biology (M) 740 --> planning on taking Math 2
AP’s - World History (4), Biology (4), US History (5), Physics B (5), Psychics C Mechanics (4).
During Senior year I’ll take AP Calc (AB and BC), AP Stats, and AP Lit</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:
In-School -
ModelUN,
Mock Trial,
Forensics,
Model Congress,
SGA,
Science Olympiad,
and some sports activities
(in all of these activities I’ll have a leadership positions starting senior year)
I’m also starting a combined Debate and Public Speaking Club as soon as the school year starts</p>
<p>Outside of School -
Volunteer at 2 hospitals, each with 100+ hours,
Shadow 2 doctors in their private practices, one’s a cardiologist and the other a pediatrician (each of them are willing to give a good rec letter)
Shadow a Lab diagnostician
Member of the Youth Committee in my local community center (this committee serves over 1000 underprivileged youth a year with various events and programs), with 250+ hours
Also a teacher at the weekend school for my local community center (I teach children language and religion studies)
Starting an EMT course this fall, probably wont be state certified until January
I also did a 6 week summer program at Carnegie Mellon University after receiving the William Elliot Scholarship (covered around 10k$ in costs)</p>
<p>@thalamus You should probably create your own thread so you don’t hijack this person’s thread. I will chance you though. What BS/MD programs are you looking at, if not Brown’s? What’s your weighted GPA too? Everything looks good, as one user said before, these programs can come down to chance</p>
<p>Hey, here’s some advice for someone in one of the above medical program: Do NOT apply to all three programs that are affiliated with Albany Medical College. I’m not saying this because the programs are bad or anything, since they aren’t. Rather, each program has a specific focus group of students they want to target and prepare for the future. I would apply to one, at max two, of the AMC programs. By applying to all three, it shows that you aren’t passionate for any of them and just want the medical school acceptance. They do cross reference between the schools who applied to weed out those that do just want the medical school acceptance and do not care about the focus the program is providing.</p>
