<p>no i haven’t heard from them yet :[
you?</p>
<p>Anyone hear from the waiting list? Did anyone send a letter of continued interest?</p>
<p>I took the math 3 placement exam. It took me about 2 hours to finish. But before I took the test, a woman there said that the grade on the test actually does affect admission into sophie davis (and other science and engineering programs at ccny). so if you haven’t taken placement test, i advise you reschedule and take it. score comes out in 2-3 business days.</p>
<p>does anybody know how and when to register for classes?</p>
<p>did anyone from the waiting list hear anything yet??</p>
<p>anyone hear from the waiting list yet? i believe they should let us know by tomorrow at least, so anxious!</p>
<p>If anyone from the waiting list hasn’t heard anything by now it obviously means we didn’t get in!</p>
<p>i did, they told me that the list was full so no room anymore</p>
<p>I heard yesterday by email. Subject line: Sophie Davis closure letter. LOL.</p>
<p>Re-Jec-Ted!</p>
<p>lol same. screw it-- life moves on. we should congratulate ourselves for just getting this far :D</p>
<p>What are the NY Regents exam requirements?</p>
<p>^ Does anyone know lol?</p>
<p>I was told by Sophie representatives when applying that there are no ‘hard’ number requirements, each application is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. </p>
<p>However, I was also told by numerous sources not officially affiliated with the school that in order to be competitive, you need above a 90 on any Regent you take. In addition, these sources claimed that applicants with GPA’s below 85 and SATs below 1200 (ACT 25 Composite) usually aren’t even considered. Again, this is based purely on word of mouth, nothing absolutely certain, but I have no reason to believe this is false. </p>
<p>I hope this helped.</p>
<p>^ All my regents are 90+ All actually 95+ except for Chemistry which is 91, still good though.</p>
<p>On any regents (including English, History, etc.), or just the science ones?</p>
<p>to sophie davis incoming freshman:
i remember somebody saying on orientation that people who have received scholarships (either from ccny itself or from outside sources) should go to the bursar’s office to tell them of that money. does anybody know if there is a deadline to do that?</p>
<p>It should be done before the bills are due, they come out mid-July I believe. You don’t want to end up paying, then getting a check back, no one mentioned a hard deadline though.</p>
<p>And XelbMS, all regents should be above 90 to be competitive</p>
<p>hey! I am really interested in the Sophie Davis program, and I was wondering if I take the ACT exam and send them my score report to Sophie Davis do I still have to take the ACT at city college? Thank you for answering in advance. =)</p>
<p>@SlimMan: when are bills due? I am not really sure but I think somebody at the bursar’s office said end of August? Can u confirm that?</p>
<p>@cherryblossom19: no you don’t have to take it twice. I took it the ACT administered by the ACT people and not the one by city college. my application file was complete and i had no problem.
however, if you take the one i took and don’t like the score, you can take the one administered by ccny.</p>
<p>Hello everybody, this is my first post on the CC forums and I found this place by doing extensive research on the Sophie Davis program. I’m currently a rising senior and this is a program that I am extremely bent on getting into, as it would be the only way that I could even get into medical school. My financial situation is tough, and there is no guarantee that I would even be able to afford to go through the traditional pre-medicine route in a regular undergrad. To put it into perspective…if I can’t get into the Sophie Davis program, I will have to settle for colleges like Brooklyn or other CCNY schools, because I simply cannot afford anything better. Plus, this is the only BS/MD program that I could find that would even consider (I think?) a “less than stellar” applicant such as myself. I am very interested in going into primary care, and the three essay’s (except the first topic essay) pretty much revolved around my commitment to primary care, and how I can relate to the people who are currently living in undeserved areas that are in dire need of physicians. Unfortunately, based on my ACT test scores alone, I’m not sure I’ll even be given a chance. T_T Anyway, here is a little more about me (I’m basing this on the “what are my chances” threads I’ve looked at earlier)</p>
<p>Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Hispanic (half of my cousins live in Venezuela)
Average: 93.85 unweighted (around a 3.75 GPA, I’ve kept it consistent throughout high school)
Class Rank: School does not rank unless colleges need it for scholarship considerations or something like that (that’s what my guidance counselor told me lol)</p>
<p>SAT’s: 1660 (590CR, 480M, 590W, 11 essay)
SAT II’s: They’re abysmal. I won’t even go into those.
ACT: 26 Composite (retaking in September. Thank you ACT test dates :D)</p>
<p>Regents (grades that I remembered, anyway):
-Living Environment (9th grade…I didn’t really care back then): 82
-Earth Science: 85
-Intergrated Algebra 2 w/ Trig: 75 (and that was from trying my best…if you guys couldn’t tell already, I’m horrible at Math)
-Regents ELA: 100
-Regents US History and Gov’t: 99
-Regents Phy Set/Chemistry: 79 (retaking in August for a 90+)</p>
<p>I take IB classes instead of AP. IB classes are like AP, but supposedly they’re more harder and some are even offered in 2 years instead of one. Meh, I don’t really know more about that. My school only offers AP Euro, since the other AP’s were replaced with IB’s.</p>
<p>Classes taken this year with final grades:
-Chemistry Honors: 88
-Chorus: 99
-IB English HL I: 90
-IB History of the America’s: 92
-IB Psychology SL: 92 (gonna find out my IB exam grades on the seventh)
-Integrated Algebra 2 w/ Trig: 85
-Health Education: 90 something…my report card was torn, leaving me clueless about the second digit…lol</p>

-IB English HL II
-IB History of the America’s HL II

<p><em>Well that’s pretty much my whole story up until this point. I know my grades are not stellar, but I am hopeful that my commitment to various extracurriculars and my essay’s will be more…‘loud’ than what my grades say. I know that I’m not the best student, but I have always been passionate about everything that I have done, even though some results may have been less than “stellar”. But nonetheless, I NEED TO KNOW if I stand at chance. Should I even apply?</em></p>
