<p>For Brown PLME, you need to show that you're interested in medicine -- usually by volunteering in a hospital, working in a lab, being an EMT, etc. I don't see any of those things on your activities... if you're a junior, there's still plenty of time -- get started on those kinds of things this year or this coming summer. Also, for PLME, try to get your SAT or ACT up -- you'll especially want a very high math score.</p>

<p>Werd, what cooldude said. If you don't have a shot, nobody does. (Other than improving your SAT's a lil bit...)</p>

5

<p>Wow, when do you have time to sleep?</p>

<p>Seriously, good job on everything. I th</p>

6

<p>I think you have a great shot (Sorry, fingers flying too fast!)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for letting me down easily cooldude. Who are you chunlin? And for ilovebrown, I'm doing a medical on training ROP course for half my senior year, do u believe that is sufficient for the medical experience. If not, what are some more things I can start doing, because i'm a senior.</p>

<p>This is a bit off subject, but you up for a game of chess sometime? I am Pres. of my Chess Club (4 years), email me or PM if you're interested.</p>

<p>3 years FBLA... sounds suspicious</p>

10

<p>i was letting u down? lol u gotta be kidding.</p>

11

<p>Dennis Zheng. I should have known. And yes, three years in FBLA.</p>

12

<p>Seriously, 1500 Hours? That's like 100 times the normal amount...seems almost impossible for a human being. I do love the typo on "softmore" :)</p>

<p>If you seriously have those stats, you should definetely consider those schools. Of course, essays and recommendations are very important parts of your application, so make sure you write them well.</p>

13

<p>colleges may be disappointed that you were not willing to dedicate 4 full years to FBLA, 3 seems wishy-woshy</p>

<p>Before I read this thread, I was going to respond "yes, an IV requires a shot." :eek: Now that I've actually read the thread, yes, you have a good shot at top schools. HYP (possibly Columbia as well) are reaches, but your chances are good at the rest.</p>

<p>Coptic is not at all like Latin. It's Egyptian borrowing from Greek. :confused:</p>

<p>Consider Northwestern's HPME.</p>

15

<p>thanks for your post warbelhall. Sorry if I slashed your name. What I meant in that coptic was similar to latin was this it was a dead language. But correct, it is ancient egyptian, with 7 different letters different from the greek language. I speak both. What is northwestern's program like? Can you please give me some more info. Thanks</p>

<p>Northwestern's program is a BA/MD program- you spend three years at Northwestern (Arts & Sciences, engineering, or communications) and then you move on to medical school. </p>

<p>There's a very good thread about BA/MD programs:

<p>Holy............<strong><em>in...........</em></strong></p>

18

<p>hmmm...i do believe im in fbla, and looking through the members records...nope...your not in it....ever</p>

19

<p>It's scary to think that I'm competing against kids like you next year for college admissions. I suggest you try contacting debate coaches at those schools, it could open doors.</p>

<p>Well in reality you don't really need a SHOT to get an IV. When you get an IV it first feels like a SHOT however it stays there and you slowly stop feeling the SHOT from the IV.</p>
