<p>Hi all,
I plan on going into medicine. I am interested in perhaps biomedical engineering, biochemistry, and economics as an undergraduate major. So far I have applied ED to Brown University's program in liberal medical education. I am looking for some other schools with good medical school acceptance rates and great science programs.

<p>I know that my test scores are low, but I am just very bad at taking standardized tests. Also with ACTs is it possible to mix the scores because than I would have a 30-31ish...or should I just send both reports to all my colleges?</p>
<p>Thank you,
