<p>as a general rule, you need Ivy-type stats for the combined programs. PLUS, you need experience in the medical field to show that you understand it (and won't faint at the sight of blood). My suggestion is to spend more time at the hospital, and less at engineering pursuits, if you really want to show that your passion as medicine. Otherwise, with a stong Math 2 score, you'll be a candidate for great engineerng programs.</p>

<p>how far are my stats from ivy-type ones haha</p>

<p>and also i did work in the hospital but i broke my arm so they dismissed me from there. i plan on going back this fall.</p>
