Chances at...MIT, Harvard, combined medicine programs

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Does anybody think I have a chance at MIT, Harvard, or the combined BS/MD programs?
(I'm applying to Brown, Case Western, Siena, Rochester, Union, WashU, BU, and probably more for BS/MD programs.)</p>

<p>These are my stats:
Unweighted GPA 4.0 (97)
SAT I: 2400
SAT II: 800 math level 2, 800 biology M, 780 literature
National Merit Semifinalist</p>

<p>My ECs are pretty bad: band, track (on and off), piano, guitar</p>

<p>Leadership: captain of academic decathlon, captain of math team, president of science honor society, tutoring coordinator of NHS</p>

<p>Science Stuff:
-- science fair (grades 10-11): got a first at states
-- my state's delegate to American Junior Academy of Sciences annual symposium in California
-- research internship at Northeastern University the summer before senior year</p>

<p>Community service: volunteer at local hospital and local library. Completed 600 hours at hospital.</p>

<p>Not that it matters, but awards:
5th in nation for National French Exam
NCTE Achievement in Writing thing
Science fair stuff
Bausch & Lomb</p>

<p>Also, does anybody know how important the interview at MIT is?</p>

<p>If anybody would chance me I would be eternally grateful.</p>

<p>Oh, forgot to include:

<p>This year, taking AP Chem, AP Calc AB, AP Physics, AP Lit.</p>

<p>Everything is strong, so you have a good chance.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s important enough that, if you are offered one, not having one is quite unwise.</p>

<p>mostly bs/md programs are very picky about the applicant’s research experience. Have you published any papers while at northeastern?</p>

<p>Hahaha yeah I’m definitely not a “hooked applicant.”
I know that extracurriculars count a lot for general admissions, but does anybody know if they important for combined medical programs? Or are those completely based on academics?
And no, for research I didn’t get any publications (I was only there for a summer). However, I did present my independent research (I did it on my own for science fair, not as part of a lab) at a national conference…does that count for anything?</p>
