<p>Hello. Please chance me for some bs/md or ba/md programs. Thanks</p>
<p>Location: New York
I attend a aviation based school(Aviation HS). I will gradudate from this school with a license which will enable me to work at an airport as an aviation mechanic right after graduation. </p>
<p>STATS</p>
<p>GPA: 92.20(weighted), about 92 unweighted
Rank: 11/415(under top 3%)
SAT: 1790(superscored) i know, its terrible =(
1160(math+ reading)
ACT: 25, one more coming up in december

<p>Do I have a shot at:
- Sophie Davis

<p>Schools like Brooklyn College want a 1200 math + reading SAT and mine is 1160. Can I catch a little break if schools see that I am clearly from an aviation or technology based school yet still want to pursue medicine? Can anyone help me with any other schools/options I should look into? Thank you all in advance!!</p>
<p>^Thanks for the advice. I can’t take the SAT anymore since the december deadline passed for it and so did the late registration deadline but I have one more ACT coming up. Anyone else have some input?</p>
<p>quite frankly, your SAT scores are too low for most program’s minimum standards. unless you can find one with a very low minimum SAT score, and you have some amazing credentials to add to it, you don’t have much of a chance at a BS/MD or a BS/DO program.</p>
<p>I think you should improve your SAT scores as well as your extracurricular activities because alot of these BS/MD programs values the extracurriculars more than scores. However, that does not mean your scores need to be subpar. A 1160 combined math and reading is extremely low for these programs. Get your score up to atleast a 1350 and a 2100 with math, reading, and grammer. To improve your SAT score do a practice test everyday and look at all the mistakes you did and learn from them. It is easier to improve your score when you are a 1160 rather than when you are a 1400 so you shouldnt worry. Just study hard and you should be in good shape. If you do not get in to a med program then dont worry because you can always take the alternate normal route for medical school that everyone takes. Good Luck!!</p>
<p>I’m guessing you already applied if you’re a senior, because most of the deadlines for these programs have passed. Your main issue are test scores, which are below the cutoff for most programs with cutoffs.</p>
<p>I applied to UConn’s Combined Program in Medicine this year too and had talked to an admissions counselor a few months ago. They’re not super strict on the cutoffs, but 140 points below the cutoff is a bit large especially when you’re up against a bunch of kids with 1400-1600’s. You’d need some really impressive extracurriculars and amazing essays to overshadow your less-than-stellar test scores. Did you take any SAT II’s?</p>
<p>You can compare stats all you want, but you really never know with these programs. Nothing is impossible, but (if you already applied) don’t expect much, because, like I said, these programs are unpredictable.</p>
<p>If you’re applying next year and are okay with leaving the country for college, at the American University in Antigua, there’s a 6-year medical program with a cutoff of 1100 SAT (CR+M). Check this website [Admissions</a> Requirements | AUA](<a href=“http://www.auamed.org/admissions]Admissions”>Admissions - Caribbean Medical School | AUA) and look under 6 year AS/MD program.</p>
<p>Your test scores are a bit low. Most of the deadlines have passed, so if you haven’t applied to them, you are out of luck. One school that I know of off the top of my head has a lower test score requirement. Wayne State’s bs/md MedStart program only requires a 25 ACT to apply. THat being said, the program director said that although people have gotten in with a 25, they had AMAZING EC’s and the test score was the only thing that held that person down. Thier deadline is next week, though.</p>
<p>@thedarknight9: I actually couldn’t find the deadline for the 6 year program in Antigua (or any deadlines, for that matter). I’m sure you could either start an application and it would tell you or just call/email them.</p>
