<p>Could I get into ANY BS/MD Program? </p>

<p>How about UConn's or Drexel's and maybe Penn State (I know it's a huge reach)</p>

2

<p>I think Drexel is a match for you...Penn State/UConn may be a little bit of a stretch.</p>

<p>Try VCU, Temple, SLU</p>

3

<p>Hah, I just realized I can't even APPLY for Penn State's Program. You need a 1450 (I have a 1430, I need to improve my M+V SAT by 20 points). I think I can up it by october, but as of now, i cant apply let alone get accepted. </p>

<p>any other comments or BS/MD Programs I have a decent shot at? (I seriously didnt realize that I had a shot at ANY 7 year med program -- so SHS Spartan's comments were definitely a positive :) )</p>

<p>"Also I am researching with a professor at Rutgers"
I think that the research will help u alot. It will be better if ur name is in one of the professor's published research paper</p>

5

<p>thanks, yeah I've put a lot of effort into the research (let's see if they put my name in it!).</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

6

<p>so..writing kinda killed my SAT score (1430 w/o it) -- but my M+V is still decent (i hope, lol). Will they take that into consideration, and what other programs would seem like a "match" for me? </p>

<p>i didnt realize that research was such a big boost, but hopefully that helps.</p>

<p>anyone else??</p>

7

<p>the infamous 'bump' --- but seriously, anyone out there?</p>

8

<p>what state are you from? Try applying to programs that favor in-state students.</p>

9

<p>I'm from NJ, but UMDNJ is ridiculously competitive</p>

10

<p>Rutgers, TCNJ, Drew, and BU have programs that favor NJ students. I think Rutgers and TCNJ stem into UMDNJ, but I don't know about Drew's program.</p>

11

<p>are there any programs that would be a match for me?</p>
