<p>Anyone? Any help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>For schools that your looking at you are not gaurenteed a spot, however I think that you have a very good shot at these schools, provided that your SAT's are decent.</p>

4

<p>I think easily in at Indiana and Vanderbilt. Decent shot at Duke, maybe 50%?
WashU...I say 50%ish? 30% at UPenn.</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, all are crap shoots. Maybe 5% at each?</p>

5

<p>I'd say more than a 5% chance for HYP... your stats are good and your ECs and awards are impressive. In at IU, no question, and a real possibility at the rest.</p>

<p>Thanks guys for your advice and suggestions! If anyone else has any other advice or suggestions, please feel free to let me know. Also if anyone sees anything that might be lacking in this list as in EC's or anything academic-wise, please let me know. I appreciate anything that anyone has to offer. Also, I didn't add this before, but if anyone knows some good accelerated med programs, BA/MD programs, or guaranteed med programs in the eastern part of the U.S., please let me know because I have a medical problem that makes it so I can't go much farther than that. I think I'm looking at Northwestern's HPME Program also if anyone could give me chances on that that would be great. Also, I forgot to add that I'm looking in-state at University of Lousiville's Guaranteed Entrance to Med School (G.E.M.S.) Program, but as I'm not sure if many people have heard of it, I neglected to add it to my original post. If anyone does know anything of that program's acceptance rates and what their looking for, please let me know. I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for any advice.
