Hello,
Relatively new guy here, just curious as to what you think my chances are at getting into the accelerated med programs in the northeast and Midwest. (i.e. Howard, NJMS, U-Pitt, Drexel, Case Western, RPI, UPenn, Stony Brook, SUNY, Northwestern, Brown, Penn State and Boston University). I live in New Jersey, and my public school is pretty competitive (45%+ Indian).
–Race: Asian Male
- Income: 280k
-Year: Junior
-Unweighted GPA (4-point scale): 3.80
-Weighted GPA (5-point scale): 4.25
-# of AP/IB/honors courses: 6 by end of junior year, 10 by end of senior.
-class rank/size: top 5-10% borderline. around 800 students in grade, school doesn’t do ranking
-SAT score –
1550- (780 R, 770M, 556 Essay)
1550- (750 R, 800M, 777 Essay)
Superscored up to 1580 with a 777 Essay
-PSAT score-
1490 (223 Score Index) - (740R, 750 M)
As long as New Jersey doesn’t hit a new high, I think I should be safe for the Semifinalist cutoff (previous year was 222).
-SAT II scores: 780 Math, 740 Chemistry (Re-took in January, waiting for score)
-AP scores, past and planned exams (only if they’re going on the application): AP Chem:4 AP Calc AB: 5 APUSH:4
