<p>Hi, i am trying to get into a bs/md program and I was wondering if a messup in freshman year screwed my chances.</p>
<p>Freshman year GPA:
weighted: 3.5
unweighted: 3.3</p>
<p>Sophomore Year
weighted: 4.5
unweighted: 4</p>
<p>Junior Year
weighted: 4.6
unweighted: 4</p>
<p>Im still in senior year and this is my goal:
Senior
weighted: 4.5
unweighted: 4</p>
<p>cumulative
weighted: 4.2
unweighted: 3.8</p>
<p>SAT:2250
ACT: 29</p>
<p>I worked so hard to get those high GPA's for the rest of my school year because I was so worried about messing up in freshman year. Ive done a lot of volunteering and took 8 APs and 4 Honors all through my highschool career. Ive even shadowed some doctors, and joined and was the leader of some very prestigious clubs. But i really dont want my chances to be ruined. Please sugar coat things, as i am stressed to the max. Does my GPA ruin my chance? Please be nice as I cannot take anymore criticism. Have i ruined my life for bs/md programs, or even the traditional way? Any help would be gladly appreciated! Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>You probably would take your SAT score over your ACT score when it comes time to submit that. But otherwise, a cumulative GPA of 3.8 is great.</p>
<p>In short, if people were to look at your 4.0 UWs for Sophomore and Jr year, they would be quite impressed. An upward trend is always a good thing. </p>
<p>As long as you did good on your AP Tests I think you are a very strong applicant to just about any school you apply to, no lie. I’ll be honest I am NOT sugar-coating it for you. I really do believe that you are a very competitive applicant. Good luck!</p>
<p>It could be slightly better (remember how competitive BS/MD programs are), but it in no way will kills your chances. The improvement in grades and high SAT should help.</p>
<p>Not at all. That upward trend is probably better than a downward trend. Freshman year is the best year to mess up any of the other years and you’re kinda screwed. </p>
