<p>never hurts to apply!</p>

<p>Your stats mostly determine if you get an interview. </p>

<p>Unless you can raise your SAT or ACT, you can start praying to God.</p>

<p>you are on target for these good BA/MD Programs: university of kansas-missouri, st. louis university, university of miami, drexel, lehigh, stony brook, temple, michigan state. Since you are from illinios you have an advantage if u apply to Northwestern even though it is near impossible to get in, and you have an ok shot at University of Chicago's program. If you want a saftey program, the University of South Florida has in interesting BA/MD Program!</p>

<p>what program is at u of c? Is there an alternate listing of programs aside from the aamc one?</p>

<p>Buckwald:</p>

<p>well i like to apply everywhere. Its an obsession that I have. I also know that I wud never be able to manage the things, if accepted. Then pick and chose. I had a choice of attending harvard or doing the ACS internship. I decided to do research. I was an amazing experience and I would never think twice again. Just stay in touch with ur counselor, be her best friend. Plus, I visited her very often just to talk.</p>

<p>For what? What major are you going for?</p>
