<p>I am looking specifically at TCNJ and Brown PLME, but I am open to the other ones also.</p>
<p>My unweighted gpa is about a 3.7, weighted is at a 4.62. My grades are on an upward trend though. I just completed my Junior year and my Junior year gpa(if there was such a thing) is a 4.0 unweighted, all As. Problem is freshman/sophomore year I got a lot of B+s, particularly in science/math courses. I am not sure if that will outweigh the fact that I got all As this year. I am in the top 10% of my class though. I am in all honors and AP classes. My AP classes are biology, chemistry, statistics and US History.</p>
<p>I got a 2330 on the SATs( 790 in math, 740 in writing, 800 in critical reading)
On SAT Subject Tests, I got an 800 on Biology-Molecular and a 790 on the Math 2s.</p>
<p>ECs:
-Peer mentoring
-JV Cross-Country
-Science Team
-Latin Club(I have also earned a few National Latin Exam awards)
-play the violin in my school orchestra
-~40 hours of community service at local hospital
-unpaid internship last year at another hospital where I helped out in the blood lab and shadowed a cardiologist and hematologist
-research project this Fall at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
-took two JHU-CTY courses: Astronomy and Introduction to Biomedical Sciences</p>
<p>Your SAT is awesome, but GPA on a lower side for bs/md, which will be interpreted by admissions as bad working habits (true or not, the fact remains). I woudl advise to apply wider, include more bs/md’s at state schools if bs/md is a goal and also add regular route schools.</p>
<p>yeah, that is what I am worried about mostly. My school is pretty tough(its a top 100 public high school according to us news) but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t kids who consistently have had near perfect gpas. </p>
<p>I am also applying to Middlebury, Amherst, Dartmouth, Wellesley, and Colby(as a safety).</p>
<p>I was also looking at the program at Union College–would that be more up my alley or still a little above my stats?</p>
<p>All the schools on your list are very selective. I am familiar with bs/md’s in Ohio, I do not know other states. You might find info on their web sites, but it should not change your decision. Just apply, see what happens. I would add more real “safety” schools though.</p>
<p>^ hey, i think that your sat’s are great-indicating that your a very smart person. Actually, my GPA is a little on the low side- a 3.83, but I am ranked 1st. I guess it just depends. </p>
<p>Haha, i would not recommend having any ba md program as your “safety” school. In terms of regular undergrad-that depends-how much money can you spend on college and what state are you from?</p>
<p>haha, yeah, when I said safety, I meant regular undergrad
I’m from Massachusetts…I would just put down UMass-Amherst as safety, but I feel like if I were to go there, that means I would not have gotten into Amherst College(right down the road), and that will just make me bitter, haha</p>
<p>For safeties, I was thinking like Colby in Maine and Wellesley(I’ve been told I shouldn’t consider this a safety, but stat-wise I would consider it a safety)</p>
<p>First of all great band (the starting line)
Your GPA is kind of weak unweighted which may be of some concern. However, your SAT scores are great. I’d recommend taking SAT Chemistry as well because it would be relevant to these programs. For Brown, the average class percentile is top 2%, so that may be a problem for you (depends on school.) For a program like Brown PLME, the essays are extremely important so focus on that. Getting some sort of leadership position in your Extracurriculars would also help a lot, so see if you can get some. Union would definitely be more up your alley, but possibly above your stats (mainly your UW GPA) . Look in to some other programs and good luck!</p>
<p>I consider my peer mentoring position to be a leadership program as a part of my job is to lead seminars for new kids in my school. That is something I will be sure to emphasize in my application.</p>
