Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get into GWU's accelerated 7 year med program and was wondering if my stats are good enough for now( I'm just a sophomore in high school)
SAT:- 780writing, 620 CR, 740 Math= 2140
GPA:- 3.8/4 top 9% of class
Will take the following AP courses my junior year:- chem, bio, us history, English 11, calculus AB, French 3(non AP), honors physics(non AP)
Senior year:- physics, Marco/ microeconomics, psychology, English 12, calculus BC, and don't know what else to take. Any suggestions?
Volunteer Work:- at community south hospital here in Indianapolis. 100 hours
I want to do research as well, don't know where to start? Will at some point, job shadow an anesthesiologist, which is my goal in life.
Extracurricular Activities:- I teach chess to children, I'm 1750 USCF. Have a personal website as well and YouTube channel for instructive videos. Can this go on my application?
Don't have many other EC's really, I do love chess and have devoted the extra hours to teaching kids. </p>

<p>Don't know if my chances are too great right now. Having a problem with putting EC's on my application. I will get more hours of community service soon. Any EC's that will help me in 2 years? Thanks for any advice</p>

<p>Thanks for replying Catria, when you mean reach, do you mean I have good chances, or is it barely in my reach?</p>

<p>Your GPA and test scores are honestly a little on the low side. For BSMD, people often say you need the big three: research, volunteering, and shadowing. You’re lacking two of those three. With that being said, experiences are not there just to put on your resume. If you can shadow for a shorter period of time and still be able to express a good deal of knowledge about medicine, you’re on the right track</p>

<p>Can you superscore your SAT?</p>

<p>Not going to happen. These type of programs get lots of 4.0/2400 applicants. You need to provide a compelling reason to reject one of them and take you.
Don’t see it.</p>
