<p>D got perfect SATII Chem/bio/Math2/FL and near perfect USH, near 2300 SAT, 1/750, will have 11 AP by senior, loads of ec’s, is deferred at yale EA – shows how selective H/Y are.Also did Har summer credit & Yale med research b4.
However,your medical ec’s are strong, and u r chances are fair to good if u apply to some BS/MD programs after boosting u r SAT to at least 2200. See the combined premed degree
column here at cc. Good luck</p>
