<p>Hi I applied to 12 BS/MD programs is that necessarily bad?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s too much because these programs are so competitive that applying to more increases your chances that you will be accepted to at least one. I applied to seven…</p>
<p>Too many Indians applying for very few spots. That is the huge problemo. I am an Indian too. :)</p>
<p>Im a Junior and I just want some of your guys opinion on the courses im taking next year. Here are the following:</p>
<p>AP English Literature
AP Calculus AB
OSU Fund of Engineering
AP Chemistry
Honors Theology
Honors Arabic 4
American Law
Economics</p>
<p>What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>so far my weighted GPA is a 3.90. but thats not my unweighted.</p>
<p>weak…
You have alot of “other” classes if i could caterogize them for BS/MD program</p>
<p>you should take these classes, you have some, but try to nail as many as you can if your school offers them</p>
<p>AP Biology
AP Chemistry
AP Physics
AP English Language and Composition
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Calculus BC
AP Spanish/German/French/Latin</p>
<p>I have taken all but “Lit and comp” & a language AP.</p>
<p>lol, yes, satacer, that is very very true. As someone who applied to more than 6 programs, I think its good but also bad. Its good to focus a lot on individuals apps and applying to a lot means you put less effort into each one.
BUt seriously, wayyyy too many indians want to be doctors-like 70 percent of the ppl at my miami interview were indian.</p>
<p>I am Native American not India Indian</p>
<p>^lol, then why would you call yourself indianman? Dont facilitate and legitimize the idiocy of Christopher columbus. Your not indian!</p>
<p>JK I was just joking to see what people would say.</p>
<p>I have taken or am taking everything on jj’s list except for ap physics, these classes will really help you prepare for bs/md programs.
The first interview I went to at Duquesne the guy said 29/30 people who he was interviewing were Indian. At the first Drexel interview there were 90% Indians too. </p>
<p>“too many indians applying for a few spots”–couldn’t have said it better myself</p>
<p>I applied to 11 and have already gotten 5 rejections. My bro applied to 10+ and only got one interview at VCU and he’s in their Program now. Applying to a lot increases your chances, but like was said probably decreases the quality of applications and costs more money. Only apply to a lot if you are entirely sure you want to do one. Also, don’t apply to programs you wouldn’t go to, but have a “better” chance of getting into–its a waste of time and money.</p>
<p>Indianman and COCONUTMONKEE,
what colleges with bs/md programs did you apply to?</p>
<p>My best friend applied to 22 of them. I have lost perspective on what’s too many XD</p>
