Chances for all UC's. I will chance back.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am going to a California Distinguished School. I am also pursuing a IB diploma. I am Indian and want to be a neurosurgeon. So, Please Chance me for all UC's and if possible, then University of Michigan. I am worried that since premed at UC's is probably competitive, I might not make it.
I am pretty sure about these calculations.</p>

<p>Hook- My family has a history of diabetes, therefore I want to be a doctor or med category to help others. </p>

<p>Cumulative GPA Weighted-4.05
UW-3.717
10-12 GPA Weighted-4.259
UW-3.77
UC Weighted GPA capped -4.17
UW-3.81</p>

<p>I have a slight upward trend.</p>

<p>SAT-2150 M-750 CR-700 W-700
SAT II- Biology-750 Chemistry-700</p>

<p>AP World History: 3
AP Chem-5
APUSH-4
AP Bio -3 </p>

<p>I took all honors possible and 5 AP/IB in junior year first semester and 6 in second semester. </p>

<p>I don't which extracurriculars to use for you guys to chance me, so Im putting most of them.</p>

<p>Exc's- I helped a poor village in India during summer time and have letters from doctors over there who worked in the hospitals. Will these be credible? I don't know how else to prove this besides photographs and letters since it was not a formal program such as Peace Corp.</p>

<p>Clubs:
Science Olympiad - 2 years (11-12).
Make a Wish- 11-12
Treasurer for poetry club- 2 years (11-12)
Mecha club-2 yrs (9-10)
Future Doctors of America-2 yrs. (11-12)
National Honor Society - For IB 1 year in senior year
Local County Art Awards in Freshman Year.( 3 first places, 2 second places, 1 fourth place).
Volunteered from 10th grade in summer in a Virginia Hospital. (Will Continue some more Volunteering for IB CAS Hours). Hoping to get 150+ hours.</p>

<p>I could not be committed since I had to move at the beginning of junior year. </p>

<p>I do not have a lot of extracurriculars or volunteering.</p>

<p>I had to move at the beginning of junior year but continued with IB, so i don't know how this will affect my chances. I prize my exc's on the art awards and volunteering in India.</p>

<p>My letters might include having to move almost 5 times and this brought my grade down in freshman year. I moved at the beginning of my junior year too. My uncle also died in sophomore year and he raised me in my childhood before I had moved to U.S. The stress of constantly moving and making new friends held me back, but I have not gotten a C ever. I believe the personal statement, Letters of Recommendation and Essays will be good. I believe IB is loved by the UC's too. So, Please Chance me for all UC's since I only want to get into any UC or University of Michigan. I am in-state and have gone to all the best public schools in my area and my family has $250,000 income too. I also took all the hardest courses with 2 sciences in one year. Thank You and I will chance back to the best of my knowledge.</p>

<p>Can I get into a UC with the competitiveness of the premed program, mainly Davis, LA, Irvine or Michigan.</p>

<p>If I don't get into the specific premed program, can I still go to med school? I am a little confused on the system. </p>

<p>Thank You and I will chance back to the best of my ability.</p>

<p>UCB & UCLA- probably not. (Just too much competition from other Inter candidates). But all the others look reachable. Anyway, I can think of a lot worse place to spend time than SD or SB. BTW what does IB have to do with medical school?</p>

<p>Yeh I don’t have a problem with any UC but would like to get Davis. The IB doesn’t have anything to do with med. it is just a competitive and recognized program like ap that looks good for college and you can earn units from high school. IB should also improve my chances but I’m not sure especially for the pre med programs at UC.</p>

<p>For the record, the UC system does NOT consider letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>Academics are strong. Extracurriculars are extensive, but I don’t see much commitment (obviously, if you had to move, you can’t really do much about that now). Seems like you’ve got the material for some good essays.</p>

<p>I don’t know specifically about premed program admissions. But I agree with sosomenza that you can probably get into every UC campus except for Berkeley and LA; those two could easily turn one way or the other, since you’re not a particularly standout applicant.</p>

<p>UCLA and UCB: High Match
UCSD: Match
UCI, UCSB, UCD: Low Match
Rest of UCs: Safety</p>

<p>I thought my gpa was high for Davis? An sat too?</p>

7

<p>Your GPA and SAT are high, so I said low match.</p>

8

<p>Bump. Even though my username says it, I am definitely no prodigy for premed majors. Any other opinions? Is it true that to get into med school you can major in anything as long as you finish the requirements or does the bio major look better?</p>
