Chances (clarified)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone,
I already posted this, but I need to clarify some important details. I'm from Omaha, NE and go to the largest school in it. I was a sophomore this year, so going to be Junior next year, and I want to go into Medicine in college. My top three schools are the following: Brown PLME, Northwestern HPME, and Rice/Baylor 8 year Medical Scholars Program . I'm Caucasian and don't need any financial aid. Also, my father went to Brown and my sister goes there right now.</p>

<p>SAT: 2050, 720 M, 630 CR, 700 W (yeah, they aren't great at all, but I'm going to retake)

<p>You’ve got good credentials, especially if you can get your SAT up to 2300+ (the equivalent of your PSAT). The one problem I see is you don’t have many ECs (besides the dermatology thing and maybe the forensics) that show a passion for medicine, which all of these 7/8 year med programs look for. I would find something medically related this summer and find some way to stress your passion for medicine on your app. Good luck.</p>

<p>Chance back?

<p>would working at hospice be something beneficial, even if it just speaking to and helping out the patients?</p>

<p>you cant put all of those ECS</p>

<p>@chocolate25: As I said originally, all of these are all over the place. Of course I won’t put down all that is here when I go to apply to college, but I figured I’d just put it out in the open so that I could receive the best feedback possible. Do you have any advice?</p>
