<p>Hello College Confidential community,</p>
<p>Please chance me for UT PACT!!! It's a BA/MD program in Texas where the undergraduate degree is completed at the University of Texas at Dallas and the medical degree is completed at the University of Texas at Southwestern. It's very competitive. I'd really really appreciate anybody's opinion.</p>
<p>Here are the stats:</p>
<p>GPA:
Unweighted - 3.93/4.0
Weighted - 4.318/5.0</p>
<p>Rank:
15/285 (Top 5.94%)</p>

<p>Recommendation Letters (Haven't asked for them yet, but I expect them to be very good):
One from physics teacher
One from local university professor or pediatrician
One from counselor</p>
<p>Essays:
I plan on spending a lot of time on them so they should be very good as well</p>
<p>Basically all I'm asking is if these stats will get me an interview and possibly a spot in the program. I know the program is very competitive, and a lot of the students who are accepted have stats that make them appear as prodigies.</p>
<p>Does it look like I can get in with these stats? What am I lacking? Where should I improve myself? What already looks good to the admission committee?</p>
