How competitive is undergraduate p. with Medical Bound (w/ my stats)?

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs
1

<p>Hi,
I just turned Junior now and I was greatly curious how competitive is the undergraduate program that bounds the medical school program which mean once you are enrolled, as long as I take required classes and keep my GPA, I am guaranteed for the medical school program.</p>

<p>I have heard that this program is competitive as IVY LEAGUE school so I want to do my best to prepare them. Do I have chance for ANY undergraduate program that bounds to medical school. I do not care about school name or prestige. I just want to go to undergraduate that offer me to prepare me and (possibly) guaranteed me to be in medical program.</p>

<p>If I do not have chance for undergraduate with medical bound, my next dream is to get into lower IVY such as Cornell(Biology/ Premed Major).</p>

<p>UW GPA: 4.0
Weighted GPA: 5.03
UW Classrank: 1/563
Weighted Classrank: 5/563
SAT: 2030
Courseload: All AP loaded up + honors
AP Scores: AP Human Geography - 5 (Freshman year)
AP Stats - 5 (Sophomore Year)
AP Environmental Science - 5 (Sophomore Year)
AP World - 4 (Sophomore Year)
*Taking 4 this year and probably 5 more in Senior Year
*School Type: Large Public</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activity: (listing only major)
Sophomore Class President
Junior Class President
Cross Country Varisty (third year now, almost made state cut)
Piano (since age 7)- recognized in state-wide competition (__Music Teacher Association Excellent)</p>

<p>My goal is to get my SAT score close to 2200 and I will work my best to achieve that score by the end of the Junior year or by the october of Senior Year.</p>

<p>Also I want to pull up my classrank at least to third in my class (second would be my dream).</p>

<p>I moved from Japan two years ago (beginning of the Freshman year). I have permanent residency which I can apply to U.S. Citizenship in about two years.</p>

<p>*And how do you find volunteer work at local hospital? I do not visit doctors often and it seems impossible to find them…</p>

<p>at this moment, you have an extremely low chance to get into any program.</p>

<p>first of all, you need to get a 2200 SAT score to be safe for any program. your GPA and rank are great, but it is strange when a student is rank 1 yet cannot get a high SAT score.</p>

<p>second, you need medical experience RIGHT NOW. you are applying to lock yourself into medical school. how can you do such a thing without even knowing what medicine is like? go to your local hospital and find the volunteer coordinator and begin immediately. in addition, look for doctors in the phone book or webmd.com to shadow. it’s not too late since you have one year before you apply.</p>

<p>good luck. those 2 things should set you up for success.</p>

<p>They are mostly as competitive as the lower ivy schools. Some schools let you supply either the ACT or SATs but some also as part of their honor code want the results of any you have take. Some also want at least 2 SAT subject tests like the ivies as well. Take an SAT training course or if you can swing it financially get a SAT tutor. I know they are expensive but the merit aid received usually dwarfs this cost. Good luck.</p>
