CHANCES at VCU, RPI, UCONN, DREXEL, Sophie Davis, UMDNJ etc.. thanks

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs

<p>What are my chances:</p>

<p>-Profile:-</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT I- 1480/ Math IC - 760, Math IIC - 800, Bio- 790, Physics- 790, Latin- 750, Writing- 640/</p>

<p>8 APs: Biology, AB Calc, BC Calc, Latin: Vergil, Chemistry, Physics B, English Language, Statistics
-Mostly 5's and 4's</p>

<p>Grades:
Freshman year, I had attended a prep school in which I received a 98.5 average with the highest GPA of a 4.2/4.2 with the most difficult courses and perhaps ranked in the top three students academically.</p>

<p>(Sophmore-Senior)
I attend an elite boarding school, Deerfield Academy, where about 33% of the seniors attend the Ivy Leagues. At this difficult place, I, personally, have an 88 average. The school, however, does not rank. The kids who get accepted to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale get around a 90-93 average. Thus, this school is very competetive and a feeder to the top universities. I am on target for perhaps the lower end of the Ivies and other great institutions.</p>

<p>I actually just graduated and I enrolled at Vandy but I am taking a year off. I did not get into Cornell RD and got waitlisted at JHU. My current plans are to attend a biomedical science college in India, do research, do many community service in the neighboring areas and in hospitals, and come back with a solid foundation entering pre-med in college. I hope this is a good idea to benefit myself as an individual and also for colleges to look upon.</p>

<p>Also, another question, as I take a year off, will colleges consider and lean towards primarily on my senior year grades and what I do the year off?</p>

<p>P.S.- Those sat IIs and 4 additional Ap courses are new and after the deadline that I am adding for my re-applying process this year so I dont want you guys to consider that the same results would proceed again this year.
Also, I realize the 640 SAT II writing is bad, but I heard that they may not consider writing so my 1480 is pretty legit as one component.</p>

<p>I have a great list of extra-curriculars which I have not compiled yet but will do so. But I have had many leadership obligations and awards with a well-rounded base that ranges from amazing,
- excellent community service from all kinds with many hours and extends to an international scope.
-Round Square Delegate
-Over 300 hours of hospital volunteering both US an India
-Started my own program to teach senior citizens computer skills over a span of two months
-Community service awards
-Started my own fitness camp for children in India
-Taught kids in India english skills</p>

<p>-Dance for 5 years and choreographer and leader of various genres. We have an excellent program
-Vbaseball 2 years - went to new england championship. Varsity Soccer and swimming for 1 year.
-Debate with a few awards. Math team with many awards and great scores & percentiles nationally.
-President of several significant clubs that have made impact on the community and to myself. -Dance, Yoga, Black student Association, Vocal percussion-
-Piano for 7 years- taking lessons, performing in recitals and bands. Some accapella (vocal percussionist).
-Big Brother/Math Tutor/Buddy system/Head Tour Guide/Technology Proctor/Website Editor/Hospital Volunteering</p>

<h2>I have additional great activites plus awards whcih I have not listed. But most ly, I hope what I have done in such an environment and caliber of my school is what will be impressive to colleges.</h2>

<p>Reccs: 7 reccs (too much probably, but I know the will read it as they will provide different perspectives on myself)
-2 history, 1 Latin, 2 Science Reccs from (India), 1 Advisor, </p>

<p>-Also I will send a huge community service portfolio resume as well as a reserach report(s) of work I do from India.</p>

<p>-Also, my grandmother passed away during exam week during a term where I received an average of 83. This was sophmore year and I hope these colleges will understand this number as I will be sure to write a letter.</p>

<p>Once again waht are my chances at VCU, RPI, UCONN, DREXEL, SOPHIE DAVIS (CUNY) and also any UMDNJ? In addition, can you provide me some of the easiest programs to get into and also other 'match' schools?? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I have no knowledge about what the requirements are for these schools. However, I do know that several, if not most of the bs/md programs are only available to high school seniors to apply to. So by taking a year off, you are out of contention for some of these programs I would assume.</p>

3

<p>are you serious, I am technically a senior, I have not enrolled at a college yet you know.</p>

4

<p>If you graduate from high school you are no longer a senior though, right? I don't know for sure, but I think you should definitely call the schools you are interested in and tell them your exact situation. Also check their websites to make sure.</p>

5

<p>but based on my stats, how would you rate my chances at a 7 year program? Perhaps you are enrolled at one or know the competitive range for these schools?</p>

<p>I just graduated from high school and was unfortunately not accepted to any bs/md programs. I was an alternate at one, and rejected pre-interview from the other that I applied to. I do know several people that will be attending similar programs though. I think you have as good shot as anybody at these schools with your stats. Good job and good luck!</p>

<p>Oh I am sorry. It is just I feel that a med school seat comes by hard these days. Well personally, I am apply ED to Duke and 7 year is my second option. I wish you the best in your medical endeavors. Thanks for your advice.</p>
