<p>I'll be graduating in the spring of 2007 from a CC with my AA. My GPA is about a 3.8 and my EC's are very generic- working part-time, Phi Theta Kappa member, volunteer, and started an animal rescue. I also worked two full-time jobs after high school to help out my family durring a situation. I have some lofty goals of going to med school, despite what people have told me about starting out at a CC. Here's my list of schools that I'll be applying to. I'd love to hear what you think my chances are and, which schools would be the best fit hoping for med school after undergrad.</p>
<p>University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
North Carolina State
University of Arizona
University of Florida-Florida resident attend a Florida CC
Clemson
East Carolina University</p>
<p>I'd also love you know if there are any other schools anybody thinks would be a good fit for me.
Thanks so much in advance</p>
<p>Any test scores you can post--and also an indication of difficulty of your course load? Both of these would help in providing accurate chances.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Test scores won't matter because I'll be a junior and I've already checked on that. HS grades were mostly B's nothing outstanding. As for my CC course load mostly gen ed courses, calc, bio,chem, eng etc...</p>
<p>Sorry, I misread your post--my apologies.</p>
<p>If you are doing 3.8 in college already, you should have no problem at all of those except UNC-Chapel Hill, which is notoriously tough to get into from out-of-state.</p>
<p>I'm presuming you'll be going bioengineering, biological science, or biomed as an undergrad. Based upon this, I would guess your best chance from among these for medical school would be, in order:</p>
<p>(1) UNC
(2) Florida
(3) Clemson
(4) North Carolina State
(5)Arizona
(6) East Carolina</p>
<p>I would also look into Ohio State (excellent biology department and has their own medical program), and as a reach, Northwestern (absolutely excellent pre-medical program and has their own medical school--and there's always a chance they might give you a shot with that 3.8 GPA).</p>
<p>Obviously, Florida would be the cheapest of these by far.</p>
<p>Thank you Calcruzer. Since I'll be a transfer my oos status won't matter for UNC. What do you think my chances would be with that not being a factor?</p>
<p>come on please help I'll send cookies</p>
<p>I disagree with Calcruzer (one of the few times). UNC-Chapel Hill actually states that they don't discriminate against OOS students in transfer admissions. Residency isn't a consideration. I think you have a great shot at getting in based on others on this site that have gotten in. You could try Northwestern, but it's tough to transfer into there, it's like an 11% acceptance rate for transfers. UNC is 35-40% I believe, so a better chance, but they still are selective.</p>
