<p>Agree with LoremIpsum, you need to demonstrate a concentrated passion for the medical field or related sciences via extracurriculars and summer activities. HPYM and peer schools want to see well rounded students PLUS an arc (over time) of passion. Your ACT/SAT’s are a bit low but that can be overcome. The LOR will be critical and will have to prove the passion and verify your academic potential. Make sure you are having an ongoing discussion with the teacher who writes the LOR.</p>
