College Search & Selection

<p>Okay, so I'm the oldest child and my parents didn't go to college in the US so really I'm extremely unsure of the whole college application process in general. </p>

<p>I live in NY and there is no chance of me going out of state - I want to get into a medical program, I've done research on the ones in New York</p>

<p>I wanna apply to the stony brook medical program, the Sophie davis program, the siena-Albany med program, the Brooklyn college BA-MD program and the Union college med program. </p>

<p>I did a large variety of clubs over the past few years and I participated in a lot of school charity events. I have volunteered at the hospital for the past 3 years and I've been in a total of 3 departments so far, should be 4 once school starts up again. I've been on the Varsity Badminton team since sophomore year and I'm sure I'll be on it again, I am in the Advanced Science Research Program, I am in 5 honor societies - spanish, history, national, science & english, I've taken 4 APs so far - AP World, APUSH, AP Bio & AP Lang - I got 4s on all of them. I've taken the SAT II in Bio and I got a 740 and I've taken the SATs once and got a 2070 (I'm gonna take it again in October) I haven't taken the ACT yet but I'm taking classes and plan to in October. My overall average is a 97 and I'm sure I can maintain that or get better grades through senior year. </p>

<p>So pleasee can you guys help me out? Tell me what more you think I should do? What chances do you think I have of getting into any of the programs? How do I find out exactly how to apply to the different programs? When should I start writing my college essay?</p>

<p>I have so many questions and most people don't have the time to sit down and explain them to me so I would appreciate if you guys helped me out!</p>

<p>PM me. I would advise you to apply to a net of schools, both safety and reach, with and without those programs. BA/MD programs are notoriously difficult to get into, since many pre-meds who enter their undergraduate studies do not remain in the program. So BA/MD programs tend to be very selective of their students so that they only admit those who they are absolutely sure would be able to handle the rigors of pre-medical and medical study.</p>

<p>There’s a forum for BS/MD applicants here:
Multiple Degree Programs - College Confidential Forums</p>

<p>Make sure you apply to safeties (all of these programs are extremely competitive) as well as the programs.</p>
