<p>I have posted a few "chance me" threads but no one has really answered this question: What chance I have to make it into the Medical Scholars program at SLU?</p>
<p>Why I want to go there: Program is challenging enough, campus is gawgeous, people are cool, bigger city.</p>
<p>1) Be as harsh as you would like -- it's about impossible to offend me and I will heed any good advice you can give.</p>
<p>2) Help me weed out the pointless EC's/awards, if you would be so inclined</p>
