<p>whats the diff. between BA/MD programs and BS/MD programs?</p>

3

<p>lol to tell you the truth, not sure oh btw for anyone reading this i left out a few of my EC's cause i couldnt remember them all, but they are mostly band/percussion related as most of you can see is my general trend in EC's</p>

4

<p>bumping back up</p>

5

<p>Your grades look good, but your EC's are weak. Combined programs look for medicine/health related EC's that show you are interested in becoming an MD. They do not want to take students who are not sure they want to be a physician just to have them drop out.</p>

6

<p>any ideas on what i should do, i mean hey i dont have to apply for another 10-11 months. Should give me at least some time to add some medical related ec's on the list.</p>

7

<p>bump, any ideas?</p>

8

<p>You could go do research at a hospital, volunteer at a hospital, shadow a doctor, become an EMT, do an internship. Lots of things, get creative so you stand out.</p>

9

<p>aite thanks</p>

10

<p>SAT/ACT??</p>

<p>SAT IIs?</p>

11

<p>there gonna happen this year, math physics chem and bio, but lol not on the same day, dispersed throughout the year</p>

12

<p>Yeah, definitely do bio/chem stuff. Lots of it.</p>

13

<p>anyone on Long Island here who can refer me to any good medical related EC's besides volunteering, and research cause i did the volunteering, and im signed up for research as well.</p>

14

<p>Win awards for your research. Or get published. Hehe that should give you something to think about.</p>

15

<p>that would be cool</p>

16

<p>assuming i kick butt on SAT's and SAT II's, and oh iono get siemen's westinghouse semi-finals(which is a lot to assume) how would my chances at Stony Brook be for thier direct program?</p>

17

<p>bump, anyone?</p>

18

<p>oh come on, someone must know... anyone?</p>

19

<p>without SAt scores, its really impossible</p>

<p>Most places requre atleast a 1350</p>

20

<p>that cant be right, thats too low, you mean the old one right?</p>
