Chances at Boston University Accelerated Medicine Program?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm going to be a senior in just a couple of days and I'm weighing my college options. I want to be a doctor so I'm interested in BU's Accelerated Medicine program. I understand that it's VERY competitive, so I know that my chances are low but here's my BASIC statics.</p>

<p>SAT: 2180 [re-take in Oct.]
Haven't taken any SAT II's yet so I'm taking them in November...I'm taking Chemistry, Math 2, and I haven't decided on a third SAT II
GPA: ~96 UW, ~99 W (or more, I'm not sure how the weighting works at my school)
Rank: Definitely top 10%, if not more
APs: 10 by the end of senior year, including AP Chem (got a 5) and I'm taking AP Calc this year</p>

<p>I'm decently involved in clubs and I've had 5-7 leadership positions through various clubs and activities I've taken on. </p>

<p>I realize that research experience and community service are a big part of the whole admissions process. All I have is 200+ hours of service at a local hospital, some service at my church and library...and that's it. I applied for some summer lab programs but didn't get accepted.</p>

<p>So my question is...without any outside lab/research/medical internship experience, should I bother to apply for this program? Please be honest; it'll only help me prioritize. Thanks!</p>

<p>well your SAT score is well about their 50th percentile. I am sorry but I am really not familiar with the Med Program. However, I am sure with some good essays, you would have a good chance at getting accepted to the University. I have no idea, but even if you were not fit for that specific program, could you just enter into the University as a Freshman and work your way up from the inside?</p>
