<p>You have okay stats but you would probably be considered the "lower end" of the range of applicants they see. You're a little foggy on describing the details, esp your ECs and you only list an expected SAT score but if "awards, in debate, model un etc" is the best of it it isn't looking very good. Usually they look for something that would make you stand out and make you special.</p>

<p>scores are on the low side.
3 on chem and 700 of chem sat is not a good sign. Doctors have a lot of tests (not just mcats) to take so accelerated programs want to see strong test taking ability.</p>

4

<p>but colleges don't see your ap scores unless you choose to give it to them</p>

<p>Yeah, pretty poor scores and stats...I would say you would have problems getting into any of those program (to be frank, Harvard, HPME, BU/Rutgers 7 year are a pretty long shot). If you don't get a good SAT score...then you're pretty much done. If anything could help you, it would be a very strong essay matched with an excellent SAT score...but you're SAT II have killed you for the 7 year program...unless, of course, you are a minority student (Asians are not minorities).</p>

<p>psh- don't listen to these people! Stats aren't everything. No one here is on the admissions committee so why do you care what they think? Just fill out the best application you can and try your best on your tests and hope that everything works out. As long as you apply to some safeties, there is absolutely nothing wrong with applying to schools that you are interested in, even if they seem like a longshot.</p>

<p>I know a girl with like a 3.6 unweighted, didn't take the hardest classes, 2100 on the SAT, not a minority and she got into Stanford this year (over a lot of way more qualified people at my school- yeah, we were all kind of scratching our heads at that one).</p>

<p>As for your SAT II chem, your score isn't that far off from mine, and I made it into HPME and PLME. And I'm not a URM. I think they're looking for 700+ scores, and the rest has to do with your passion for medicine. </p>

<p>the point is- admissions sometimes feel completely random! So just give it a shot! Apply!</p>

7

<p>what were your stats ellen</p>

8

<p>I don't like posting them in public, if you PM me I'll give it to you</p>

9

<p>also: my parents are NOT doctors, we are not rich so I didn't "buy my way in", and I had no research experience.</p>

10

<p>***. I doubt many people "buy their way in".</p>

11

<p>ellen, could I see your stats also? I'm curious, you must've wrote a killer essay or had a fabulous interview. Also which program did you end up going to?</p>

12

<p>try University of Illinois- Chicago 7 year program. It is very hard to get into, but i would assume a bit easier to get into than a few programs on your list.
by the way, Northwestern is one word. do not make that mistake on your application! my friend is going there, the best college applicant our school has ever had to offer. 4.0 GPA, school president, 34 on ACT, etc.</p>

13

<p>What Ellen is saying has some merit...admission may seem quite random...but, being a future member of an admissions committee, I would think twice. As long as you can make it past the initial cut and show maturity and commitment, you're in.</p>

<p>ur gonna get in everywhere. i have never seen stats like that in my entire life.</p>
