<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I am interested in University of Pittsburgh's Guaranteed Medical Admissions Program. I've reviewed the requirements and I know the small acceptance rate. I am curious though as to what my chances of being accepted actually are... Has anybody been accepted or know someone that has?</p>
<p>My SAT scores are Math-690, Writing-760, and Reading-800. I'm still waiting on SAT II scores. My weighted GPA is about a 4.43 and my unweighted is about a 3.8-3.9. I take part in marching band, mock trial, a mentor club, and an anti-bullying committee. I'm volunteering this summer at a food bank and a hospital in my area. I'm taking four APs, 1 Honors, and Wind Ensemble for my senior year of high school. I am also a very people-oriented person.</p>
<p>What are my chances for at least an interview? I am so nervous!</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>It’s really tough so I wouldn’t place any bets on getting an interview. Your SAT math is pretty weak and your UW gpa isn’t strong either so it’s gonna be tough. Even if you did make it to the interview stage, they only select like 8 out of the 36 or so called.</p>
<p>Chances are very small. You need really perfect stats to be considered and even then it is really tough. These guaranteed programs are arguably more competitive than MIT or Princeton, as stated before.</p>
<p>Your stats would probably be good enough to at least be considered if you had more medically related ECs. The kids you’ll be up against will have hundreds of hours of shadowing and volunteering, and most (if not all) will have been heavily involved in research. </p>
<p>My stats were objectively better than yours- 4.0 UW, 2270 (760 M, 740 CR, 770 W) SAT, 800 SAT Math II and Chem subject tests, and I didn’t even get an interview. This was because, as I stated above, a lack of medical ECs- I had shadowed a hospitalist for a bit, volunteered some at a local hospital, and researched under a professor at a local university in the bio dept (not published), but nothing special. No awards or science fair wins to speak of.</p>
