<p>her stats are obviously excellent-and it will make her competitive at top programs. But, I think her medically related extra curricular’s are slightly lacking-same wiith her school EC’s. It’s too late to become extremely involved-but you can do things like hospice volunteering, etc over the summer. I think she should really focus on essays too bc those will set her apart.</p>

<p>She has very good stats. I am sure she will get into many combined programs.</p>

<p>If she likes football (or even better yet … football players :slight_smile: ), she should definitely consider Penn State, or maybe Northwestern. You’ve got BIG TEN football at those schools. In fact, it is so BIG TEN in the BIG TEN, they’ve got 12 teams ! (LOL ! :)!)</p>

<p>Yeah, maybe she could show a little more interest in medicine through shadowing for example, though the numbers are probably good enough for her to get some interviews.</p>
