I am currently halfway into my Junior Year. I am fully aware that most of the schools/programs on my list are big reaches (especially with my moderate GPA and lack of Major Awards), but I would like to know my actual chances and whether or not I should look into more BS/MD programs or if my activities are unique enough?
