<p>I know i will be taking calculus 2 ib, physics 2 ib and english ib .</p>

<p>My act scores... Im struggling...
Math - 28
English-26
Reading-30
Science-20 (Ironic my science score is LOW but I have no problems in the classroom).</p>

<p>My activities:
Basketball 4 years - 3 years varsity
Tennis 2 years - 2 years varsity
Cross Country 2 years - 2 years varsity
Science Club
National Honor Society
Summer Scholars: an introductory program to medicine held at UMKC school of medicine

I am about to start volunteering at a Hospital probably about 3 days a week, starting next month. I am also about to join Habitat for Humanity.</p>

<p>I really enjoy hands on learning. I am pretty sure that I am going to apply to Medical School after college. I don't want anyone to tell me that there is easier ways to medical school because I know that. I just want to know, (according to my academics) if you think it would be possible for me to do well enough in bioengineering/biomedical engineering to go to medical school?</p>

<p>uab is ranked a tier 1 school by usnwr, and is one of only 51 schools ranked high research by carnagie foundation</p>

<p>has a medical school if that is your future goal</p>

<p>has specific criteria for scholarships with deadline of dec 1 usually… i think top scholarship for out of state is full tuition… but full cost for out of state student is still pretty good 19-23K for tuition dorm and food.

<p>ps re the science act… dont spend all your time reading the questions …look at the graphs and charts …that’s where the answers are…even if you dont think you know the subject of the question.</p>
