<p>University of Pittsburgh also has an amazing medical school guarantee program, if you want to look into it as well (or maybe you already know about it :p).</p>
<p>xrCalico thanks for the reply…yes I have heard of the program in UPitt but I also heard that it is one the hardest to get into.</p>
<p>Rice-Baylor should be just as hard as the Pitt-UPMC. If you’re trying for one of them, why not apply to the other?</p>
<p>Guys what do you think are my chances of getting in…cause i am still trying to narrow down my college list so i dont have to write like 500 essays</p>
<p>I know that both Rice/Baylor and Brown PLME will be especially hard to get into, but I have no idea about the other ones. My impression is that they look for people with genuine interest in medicine and that the whole process is less stats-driven than the normal college admission process, with the essays and your extracurricular activities being much, much more important than usual. </p>
<p>The only medical school guarantee program I’ve applied to was Pittsburgh UPMC, since I needed financial aid and Pittsburgh happened to also offer the possibility of a full ride scholarship (and besides, the medical school was absolutely awesome). But perhaps it was because I never spent as much time working on the essays as I should have, or maybe it was because I’ve only shown marginal interest in medicine through my activities or some other reasons, I never even got an interview :P. If you go to the specific school’s forums you’ll probably be able to find the stats of past applicants who were accepted into those programs, which may be helpful. Good luck!</p>
<p>Calico thanks for the suggestion to go on forums it actually helped a lot. Also if you don’t mind could you tell me what activities you did so I know what these programs are looking for in an interested applicant. Thanks.</p>
