<p>I am going to be a senior in highschool this fall and I am really confused about applying to the seven-year med programs and the pre med programs at certain colleges. If I want to apply to Rutger's pre med, do I just apply through the common app or do I have to fill out a supplemental? On the common app, do I mark what I want to major in or is that something you do after you get into the college? Also, I want to know my chances of getting into the Rutger's pre med program. These are my stats:</p>

<p>Weighted GPA: 4.3750
Unweighted: 3.9375
Sat score: 2030 math:720 reading:620 writing:690
Sat subjects: math 2: 650 Biology:700
EC: varsity tennis, officer positions in red cross club, Future Business Leaders of America, Furutre Medical Leaders of America, volunteer at a hospital and volunteer tutor for needy children, Taekwondo black belt
AP Classes I have taken: AP Biology, AB and BC Calc, AP Micro and Macro economics, AP World History, AP Chemistry, AP Statistics</p>

<p>Thank you so much for taking the time to read this thread and to answer my questions =)</p>

<p>4.3 weighted? What’s that out of? I had like a 3.9 unweighted and a 5.3 weighted on the 5 scale.</p>

<p>Your stats are very good; I doubt you’d have a hard time getting into any major at RU; I’m not so sure about the pre-med program; or how you go for that. I don’t think it’s a specific major, though I’m probably wrong.</p>

<p>I mean no disrespect to RU, but with stats like those, you should consider looking around, as well.</p>

<p>Pre-med isnt a major or program its just the curriculum a potential med school students wants to take.</p>

<p>The closest Rutgers has to to a 7-yr program is the joint program with umdnj called the BA/MD program in which u applied for it during ur spring sophomore semester and the min GPA requirement is a 3.5.</p>

<p>If u dont want to go that route and still want to “pre-med” you just have to sign urself up with HPO (Health Professions Office ) when u get there and choose any science major. Theoretically any major can do “pre-med” as one as they filled the pre-reqs already such as bio, chem, orgo, calc, expos, and such…</p>
