<p>Volunteer:</p>
<p>Some of my tutoring is volunteer work, but I will also be doing a few hundred hours of work at the hospital this summer.</p>
<p>So I want to go into medicine and major in chemistry or biology along with Computer Science since I like the subject and want to pursue it a little more. I know my SATs aren't too great, but I've taken them twice now and am not sure if I should take them a third time next year. I'm think I can raise my SAT score to above 2200 (around 2250 I would guess), but I don't know if I should. Colleges that I'm considering:</p>
<p>University of Pennsylvania
Duke University
Stanford University
Rice University
Emory University</p>
<p>UPenn is the college that I really want to get into, but I think I'm a longshot. For accelerated med programs, I was looking at Drexel. The requirements are 1360 on the SAT (Math and Crit Read) and no lower than a C in college, which seems easily achievable to me. My safeties are some in-state colleges, which are very easy to get into (I'd give it a 95% chance). So, mainly, what are my chances at UPenn?</p>
