CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE</p>
<p>Please read my reply to the "A few important questions" thread on this forum, much of it applies to you as you do not appear to have any EC's that would demonstrate a passion and dedication to medicine.</p>
<p>sis1a,
I'm a rising undergrad junior in the Case PPSP program. I had similar SAT's, 2200 total - with my SAT 2 writing score, 730 - Molecular Bio, 800 Math 2C and got interviews at RPI/AMC, Rochester and Case. I declined the RPI interview, got rejected from REMS and was accepted to Case. I had some more experience medically - volunteer residential camp counselor for children/teens with spina bifida, shadowing physicians, some research, summer science programs etc. The physician shadowing you could certainly still do and was something I talked about during my interviews. I would suggest that you do what you can to increase your medical exposure, become an officer if possible in the clubs and then apply to a few programs that you feel are a good fit for yourself. Some programs have an in-state preference so it's a good thing to check on. If you have any specific questions that you think I might be able to answer feel free to PM me.</p>
<p>^ I'm not familiar with Case's program but usually when a combined degree program is 7 years the undergrad phase is 3 years, and when it's 8 years the undergrad takes 4 years.</p>
<p>It is possible to finish the undergrad phase in 3 years, particularly if you're coming in with a lot of AP/IB credit. However, your position in the medical school is guaranteed after 4 years of undergrad, you have to apply, minus the mcats if you want to go a year early and the medical school gets to decide whether or not they'll take you a year early. Usually they do it's just not guaranteed. If they don't take you you can just do research or do study abroad, get a masters or something for a year and then you have your spot. I'm doing a BS degree and I wanted time to study abroad so I'm doing the 4 years of undergrad. The cool thing about starting a year early is that you can apply some of your undergrad scholarships to your first year of medical school. Typically people getting into PPSP get Presidential/Trustee scholarships that are 20-24k/year so that's a big help for the first year of med school if you start early.</p>

<p>Mun, SAT needs to be raised. try for 2100 at least. It's easier than you think. I got a 2020 the first time and raised it over 150 points the second time by focusing on my trouble areas.</p>
<p>can someone please let me know my chances with these stats:

1340/1600 SAT
1940/2400 SAT (this should go up to about 2100 in november)
SAT II's in october (which one's do I need to take?) (I can probably do extremely well in math, chem, and bio)</p>
<p>ec's
Vice President of Science Honors Society (Excaliber)

<p>i'll greatly appreciate it if you give me an honest opinion. thanks</p>
<p>rd31- how exactly did you go about studying the second time for the SAT to get a score increase of that much? Should I do some problems every day until SAT test date or what can I do?</p>
<p>md4me - I did the SAT question of the day each day, I used dictionary.com's word of the day [sends a new word to u in ur email everyday], and I took practice sections for subjects I was weak in; I NEVER took an entire test in one sitting at home, I just did individual sections.</p>
<p>This question doesn't really fit in this thread but do ec's count if you aren't in them for your high school years. i enjoyed doing them, but decided to stop for a while to study.</p>
