<p>I'm a junior at a rural midwest high school. What are my chances for getting into bs/md programs?</p>
<p>Stats:
Ethnicity:asian
Sex:male
GPA:4.0 unweighted, 5.7 weighted (out of 6)
Courses:Took numerous AP's, hardest classes available (expected 4's or 5's on all tests)
Rank:3 of 666 (i know, really?)
SAT:1500 or 2200, whatever way you see it
Subject Tests: Don't have scores yet, but around 700's or so for Biology, Chem, and Math 2
ACT:projected 35
(retaking all of these tests for higher scores)</p>
<p>EC's:
Piano for twelve years, first place in numerous regional competitions
Also play guitar/violin for recreation
numerous high school associations, like NHS
play tennis/competitive in debate
around 200 hours shadowing doctors
around 50 hours volunteered at local courthouse</p>
<p>chance me for HPME, Baylor/Rice, higher-tier schools
and please feel free to be as harsh/critical as you can :)</p>
<p>well, i studied my a** off, and it was easy, in my opinion, but i guess anything goes. hopefully its a 35, but watever. Lovin all these helpful posts guys</p>
<p>its easy to project scores.
average of last 3 practice tests taken = your real score + - 1 for ACT.</p>
<p>I dont know, BS/MD programs are insanely competitive. I mean people choose these programs over harvard. Chances are, if you can get into like Northwestern HPME, you will get into harvard. So chance yourself for harvard.</p>
<p>HPME and Rice/Baylor are probably the 2 hardest BA/MD programs to get into. Your stats (SAT reasoning and subject tests) are probably in the middle 50% [closer to top 25%] of the applicant pool (HPME’s average accepted SAT score is 2289). All in all, if you can demonstrate through your application/interviews that you have a passion for medicine, then you should be fine. But remember that all BS/MD programs are crap-shoots. One shouldn’t be surprised whether he/she is accepted, rejected after the interview, or not offered an interview: college acceptances depend on comparisons among the entire applicant pool, which you can never predict.</p>
