<p>I applied to the Siena College/Albany Medical College Program and got my rejection letter sometime in January. With the rejection letter came an option to apply to reg undergrad. Since i didn't have to write another essay or anything, i applied. So today comes a letter saying i was waitlisted at the undergrad. I was shocked cause i though undergrad was easy to get into.
My grades:
Gpa: 92 UW
12 APs, 7 H
Sats: 1500/2200
Sat II: Bio 730, IIC 760, US history 730
Typically EC's: Volunteer, sports, music, etc</p>
<p>"What are the average GPA and SAT/ACTs? Students who gain admissions to Siena have a strong B/B+ average or higher in solid high school courses and have between 1100-1300 on the critical reading and math SAT or 24-27 on the ACT."</p>
<p>I got that off the website... I did not apply to Siena College... it kept sending me annoying emails and "extensions" for submitting my App. I thought it was a pretty unknown, not hard to get into school... you might wanna call the admissions office to see what's up..</p>
<p>that's really weird, call them up</p>
<p>Are you sure the waitlist isn't for the med program? You sure seem overqualified for regular admission.</p>
<p>well i thought it might be, but i was rejected from the program and never got an interview</p>
<p>That is strange. Would you go if you did get into the undergrad? Did you get into any other med programs? Otherwise, would you go in as a science major and apply for regular med school? I wish you the best of luck. You certainly appear to have worked hard as a high school student. I am sure you'll achieve your goal of being a doctor if you continue on your path.</p>

My son is currently a student at Siena. There is no question that your stats would be in the top 10 to 20% for Siena applicants and you should have been accepted with academic scholarship. I agree with others that you should contact admissions. It sounds like an error.</p>
<p>That's just messed up. Don't even care about continuing your application there...</p>
