<p>African American Female
Junior In Highschool</p>

<p>I dont remember my freshmen & sophomore courses and grades but no grades lower than a B.</p>

<p>GPA 3.97 (unweighted) 4.5 (weighted) -- top 10%</p>

<p>Junior Year (current year)</p>

<p>Calculus 1 IB (also dual credit) - A
Physics 1 IB - A
English IB - A
Psychology IB - B
Environmental Science AP - A</p>

<p>Senior Year (next year)</p>

<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
Science Pipeline held at UMKC (engineering & medical program)
Saturday Academy (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>Take the SAT…no Science Reasoning section. :)</p>

<p>Frankly, I would only suggest that top/top students major in engineering as pre-med students. it is just too hard to have the GPA needed for med school.</p>

<p>Your ACT math suggests that you’re good in math, but not super strong. Unless you can get a 700+ in math SAT or at least a 31 in math ACT, I wouldn’t suggest engineering for you.</p>

<p>@mom2college kids what about the fact that im taking calculus as a junior and I have an A. Are you judging whether I can be an engineer or not by my ACT scores… (i’m just not the best at time tests… I didn’t finish any of the tests, therefore I don’t think its a true judge of my intelligence.)</p>
