<p>u will get the seat. however, u have to work hard to remain in the program to get into med school. anyone with act 30 or more will be offered a seat there. however, admission is not guarenteed. it depends on how u do in college and they only pick the top one’s at that stage.</p>

<p>Just curious, did you hear back from SLU? With such good credentials you should be hearing back from them, I’m just curious.</p>

<p>QUESTION: Do most Medical Scholars interview for President’s Scholarship?</p>
