<p>work on SAT…
highlight your medical ecs b/c they sound good and you should have a decent shot.
:)</p>

3

<p>so if i have a 2200 on SAT, do i have a chance and why decent??</p>

4

<p>about the “decent shot”, here’s the thing…
these programs are so competitive that it is so hard to say,as other people have mentioned so many times on this forum. it is truly a crapshot.</p>

<p>It’s not as bad as other people make it seem. Here’s how it works - the first round (pre interview) is more numbers oriented, sort of like the AI for Ivies. After you get your interview they grill you pretty hard and look at your essay/medically-oriented EC’s. It seems that you have the second half down and if you’ve been shadowing a doc for that long I’m sure you’ll be able to articulate your interest in medicine well that way. But to get to that stage you’ll need to bump your SAT’s. I suggest trying to hit 2200 on I and 750 at least on 2 II’s. Don’t worry about AP scores that much - just don’t send them! That should get you into Drexel most likely and interviews at least at a couple others. As for 4-yr UG’s, I’d put you at a match to slight reach at Ivies, with a match if you can get closer to 2300s. Good luck!</p>
