<p>Hi
I currently go to a private school in Wisconsin right now. I was wondering what my chances for a good medical school would be. Just comment if i need more info, im not sure what else to put = )</p>
<p>Grades throughout all years (K-10)-A's
ACT score- 29</p>
<p>Extracurricular
Tae Kwon Do
Tennis
Volunteer at local hospital
Business club
engineering club
Orchestra
String Ensemble</p>
<p>It would help if you gave names of schools you’re interested in, as well as what grade you are currently in. K-8 grades don’t mean anything, 9th grade barely even counts except for cumulative gpa. </p>
<p>**I know it’s just a forum, but correct grammar is usually appreciated by commenters! =]</p>
<p>Nithin- Don’t let people get you down about the long process ahead of you. I am currently a sophmore in college and am getting ready to apply to vet school. I was just like you when I was in high school- vet school was always on my mind! Congrats on the fantastic all A’s streak and keep it up! Do well on the SAT/ACT and you will get into a great university. It doesn’t really matter where you get your undergraduate degree, just as long as you well in your course work. Keep in mind that the average accepted GPA for allopathic MD is a 3.5. During the summer before your senior year in college, you will apply to med school. At this point, it is difficult for us to “chance” you for med school, but don’t let that discourage you! </p>
<p>I’m aware of the long process. I just want to know if I could get in though. I’m currently a sophmore. Since I’m living in Wisconsin, I’m eyeing the medical school in Milwaukee.</p>
<p>Ok, I just want to clarify (you seem to already know this, but I’ll try to elucidate in case you don’t)</p>
<p>Before you can do anything relating to med school, you need to get a 4 year degree at any accredited school. At college, you will need to take “premed” classes such as physics, bio with lab, chem, and I believe calculus. After you’ve completed the requirements and finish your bach. degree, you can then attend a medical school.</p>
<p>I guess what I’m trying to make clear is that your eventual Medical school can be a completely different university than the one you attend college at. That being said, being matriculated for undergrad at a university (and thus being a resident) will give you an advantage if you apply to THAT school’s medschool. </p>
