Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello College Confidential community,</p>

<p>I am a high school junior with aspirations to eventually become a doctor, and I go to school in a rural area. In the pursuit of medicine, I've explored numerous ways to educate myself efficiently, and one of the program that I have interest in is the Partnership in Advancing Clinical Transition at University of Texas Dallas and University of Texas Southwestern. The purpose of this discussion thread is to gather a general assessment of whether my statistics and accomplishments can endure the rigorous admission process of the program and get me accepted.</p>

<p>Here are the stats:</p>

<p>GPA:
Unweighted - 3.91/4.0
Weighted - 4.17/5.0</p>

<p>Rank:
32/307 (Top 10.423%)</p>

<p>Major Awards/Academic Merit:
N/A</p>

<p>SAT:
2360 (M 800, CR 770, W 790) (One Sitting)</p>

<p>ACT:
35</p>

<p>Extracurricular (Leadership in parenthesis):
HOSA
Key Club
NHS
Mu Alpha Theta
American Cancer Society (Founder/President)
Red Cross Club (Treasurer)
Red Cross Club (Founder/President)
Tennis (Varsity Team Captain)</p>

<p>Volunteer Work:
Children's Hospital (30 hours)
Retirement Home 1 (40 hours)
Retirement Home 2 (100 hours and counting)
Local Hospital Volunteer Work (30 hours and counting)</p>

<p>Job/Work Experience:
Shadowing (Orthopedic Surgeon, 50 hours)
Shadowing (Family Practitioner, 50 hours and counting)
Research (9-10 Months, Local University, publication very possible)</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
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>

<p>Ok, Mind my Grammar
Your SAT scores are definitely in range for the University of Texas (Dallas)
GPA is very impressive ( your definitely in the top 50% of applicant pool)
Volunteer Work shows your passion for the field your attending to go into ( major A+ for dedication)
Class Rank is shockingly lower than what I would of imagined do you go to a magnet school with Einsteins, but its ok.
Solid Extracurriculars my man good job! (NHS Looks Aweome)
ACT is total above Par (top 20% of applicant pool?)
Overall, the only thing that may hurt your app. is you bomb the interview, and your rewards/accolades
Relax I think you are a definite match in my opinion a safety you should have no problems getting in! Good luck man!</p>
