Rigorous Courses

<p>Why don't you apply and see? However confident or not you feel (which is irrelevant), you need to face the facts. Facts should not prevent you from applying, but should prepare you for possible outcomes. The facts are that the people who are applying to these programs have been taking the most rigorous classes possible at their respective High Schools. For example, my D. who is in BS/MD currently, took AP Calc. instead of AP Statistics knowing that the first one is much harder than the second one. </p>

<p>These people are your competition. Imagine yourself being part of admission to one of these programs and needed to choose 20 out of 800, for example. You start out with GPA and scores, and then go down to the next criteria. Vast majority of these 800 will have GPA close to 4.0uw and very high scores. Average students do not apply to BS/MD programs.</p>

<p>Still why don't you just apply? What is the reason of your question? - You cannot change your curriculum anymore - it is in a past.</p>
