Chances of Getting into BS/MD Programs (listed in thread) and UPenn?

<p>Hi Everyone! So I just finished junior year and decided to start making my college list and deciding exactly where I'd apply and all that (yeah i know i'm a bit late...) and was wondering whether you guys could tell me if i seem to have a chance for some bs/md programs or upenn? Lol i thought i could just apply to an ivy for the heck of it to see if i get in (don't get me wrong, i'd love to go to upenn. i just never thought i have what it takes to go to an ivy). i also REALLY want to be a pediatrician and have for practically all my life. i'll post the programs i was looking into and my updated stats below:</p>

<p><strong><em>COLLEGE LIST</em></strong>****
PROGRAMS (just what i've been looking into so far):

Nova Southeastern University (BS/DO program)
NYIT (BS/DO program)
Gannon University (BS/MD program)

<p>thanks you guys :))))</p>

<p>ANYONE?? even a “no you suck” would be nice lol</p>

<p>Bump bump bump</p>

<p>Bumppp please someone ;(</p>

<p>Most BS/MD programs are EXTREMELY selective, you probably have a better chance at Penn, which is a low chance given your standardized test scores. Definitely work on the ACT as much as you can. Stay involved, keep your grades up, but you’re going to need to think much more broadly than just BS/MD programs and Penn.</p>

<p>I agree with Ortsac. I was considering applying to one, but realized that I would rather just deal with the MCAT and apply later. They are all very selective and you are a strong applicant, but I don’t think you are so strong that you will probably get in (they truly are crazy competitive). Apply to your top choice and other then that just apply to colleges that have strong pre-med programs.</p>

<p>No chance at BS/MD programs with those test scores unfortunately.</p>

<p>2250 or 34 plus is a must</p>

<p>lol thank you so much guys your comments mean a alot. if i did manage to bring my ACT score up to a 34 (which i’m aiming for), do you think i’d have a shot? or do you think it’s a complete waste no matter what?</p>
