Should I even bother applying to a BA/MD program?

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs
1

<p>hello everyone. i want to study medicine and became very interested in the BA/MD programs being offered. however i know that they're fiercely competitive and have strict cut-offs for GPA. </p>

<p>here are my stats
GPA: 3.2
SAT I: 2300 (800 Math, 780 Critical Reading)
SAT Chemistry: 750
SAT Physics: 740
SAT Biology: 780
SAT World History: 800</p>

<p>i know my GPA is low but is there any program that i might be able to get accepted into. i really want to study medicine and have almost 300 hours of volunteer work with a physician.</p>

<p>you should def. apply...there's nothing wrong with applying! Just make sure you have solid undergrad schools, too. Your SAT scores are amazing! Also, 300 hours of volunteer work is awesome.</p>

<p>how exactly do you have a 3.2 GPA with those amazing SAT scores? lol</p>

<p>one might think you cheated on the SATs ;)... lol.. jk</p>

<p>great SAT scores tho.... that GPA isn't too hot... but what's the harm in applying?... atleast you can say you tried. =D</p>

<p>good luck!!</p>

<p>always try though!! u never kno....</p>

<p>do try for sure but......heres my thought when i look at ur scores
A brilliant student who is pretty lazy (in school). The 300 hours is good but u may need to really show ur passion like i will........</p>

<p>right now i am volunteering but im deciding to like volutneer at Redcross and get involved in reserach etc. U may want to do that if u have timee</p>

<p>Paki lets here your stats. The op wasn't asking what you will do, just what their chances are.</p>

<p>didnt mean any offense. Just a quick advice? but....my bad</p>

<p>i didn't really try until later my sophomore year and my junior year. freshman year i just bombed pretty much everything getting Cs and Bs.</p>

<p>i'm also thinking about applying to a foreign medical school. i'd love to go to AGA Khan however I'm not sure how many Americans apply and how many get in.</p>
