Looking at everyone else on College Confidential and their stats and ECs … I was afraid to post this discussion.
But … here goes nothing.
I am passionate about pursuing a future and career as a physician and I’d love to get into an accelerated or enhanced medical program 7year/8year (PLME).
I am looking at schools such as Rutgers, TCNJ, Villanova/Drexel, Washington U. in St. Louis, Northwestern HPME, Brown PLME, and others. ( I really need to narrow down my list)
My GPA is a 4.2 weighted (school does not rank)
SAT : Reading - 710, Math - 780, Writing - 760
SAT II : Math 2C - 780, Chem - 780, Bio - 800
AP : Lang & Comp and Bio : 4 (school does not allow us to take APs before junior year) taking Chem, Lit, Calc AB this year
ACT: 34 (taking again)
ECs
- 300+ hrs EMT
- 100+ hrs volunteer hours at my local hospital
- 4 years (300+ hrs) volunteering as a Sunday teacher for elementary kids
- Religiously affiliated mission trips
- Regional Finalist in Science Olympiad
- Secretary and Treasurer for 2 years for a community service oriented club
This is why I was intimidated to post this thread. I was not in a privileged position or a competition involved high school (no HOSA, FCCLA, etc).
My scores and EC are average and I believe cannot get me into any 7/8 yr program (who knows though…)
So I also have been looking at schools such as Boston College, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and Williams.
If you guys could chance me on the 7/8 yr programs and my realistic/reach schools, that would be greatly appreciated.
I am an Asian American and a first generation college student with both parents working to bring in roughly $100k
