<p>lets make this the official thread for Boston University
Accelerated liberal arts/MD program</p>
<p>tell us your admissions decisions, if you've applied, if you plan on attending, or potentially interested prospective students can also ask questions and what not....</p>
<p>I'm going to be a SMED this fall!</p>
<p>Applied, Accepted, Not going.</p>
<p>i will be going!</p>
<p>im like al most sure im going
its so hard to decide betwn this and another 7 year program thats instate, and twice as cheap</p>
<p>anyways, jabez, where are u going?</p>
<p>Harvard or HPME.</p>
<p>I would love to go...next year!</p>
<p>Anybody have tips on application and whatnot for BU?</p>
<p>make sure you have an awesome essay and good EC's that show that you want to go into medicine. SATs are important, but i would say that grades are more important.</p>
<p>Another advice would be to not be so scared if your interview goes bad. One of my interviews just grilled me with questions and refused to talk for the first five minutes--"So, tell me about yourself..."--still, I was able to make it. So, if you are nervous (BU was my first interview, and usually the first round of interview for people who are applying to many different programs) don't worry. Just relax, breathe, and you'll be fine. They gave you a spot to interview because they thought you were worth it.</p>
<p>yea, thats true
i didnt think my interview was all that fantastic, but i think they picked me becaz i might have been different from some of the other candidates</p>
<p>also, in your interview, make sure you stick to what you say. Both of my interviewers were trying to change my opinions on some of topics, but i kept with what i said in the beginning. I think they like that.</p>
<p>what were your stats, I am interested in applying for this program next year. Just wondering about what kind of tests scores should I aim for?</p>
<p>SAT 730CR 780M 800W (2310)
ACT 34 comp.
SATII math750 chem760 lit690
WGPA 4.6 ranked 2 out of 705
good public high school in IL
female asian (which really does NOT Help)
speech, amnesty international, lit. mag, math team, science club
music music music, im really into flute (regional/state accomplishments) i think i sent in a CD
i did an AWESOME internship last summer, 6-weeks, got paid, and got to see literally EVERYTHING that goes on in a hospital
i have crappy volunteer hours, probably like under 200
my dads a doctor (if that helps)</p>
<p>could you please tell me what kind of internship did you do and how can one apply to one</p>
<p>well mine was at a local hospital
i received the app at school, went thru an interview process, and was selected </p>
<p>it was called the future physician's program
if u dont have a local program, u could always just shadow a doctor over the summer, work in an office...etc</p>
<p>wow that internship sounds really nice </p>
<p>at my local hospital, it's so big that they don't let anybody w/o at least a B.S./B.A do ANYTHING </p>
<p>I'm shadowing this summer but are there any other EC for the summer that you guys could suggest?</p>
<p>do research stuff, it always helps</p>
<p>other than all the famous progs like RPI, the stuff at MIT, and other college-associated things
if you know the right people, you could get an internship in alot of different labs
i live around chicago so we have Fermi and Argonne where high school students go in and at least spend some time there just watching and whatnot</p>
<p>Thanks everybody for your input</p>
<p>all rite!
i turned in my enrollment deposit and the housing form
im finally going to BU!!!!</p>
<p>Good for you, park5378!</p>
