<p>Columbia: Reach
U Miami 7-year medicine: Reach</p>

<p>Im referring to University of Miami’s 7 year med program.</p>

<p>You have a shot at HPME but it’s way more holistic than academic. You haven’t shadowed any doctors?</p>

<p>I would say HPME is more selective because something like 20 students get accepted each class.</p>

<p>I think you have a shot at Columbia … but keep in mind it has like a 5% acceptance rate so it’s very hard to tell how they even narrow down the applicant pool. UM’s program is very hard to get into too just because they accept so few people. I think your stats and extracurriculars are enough to have a decent chance though :slight_smile: Keep up the good work!</p>

<p>Oh, I also didn’t see you said Columbia ED… I think you have a good chance for ED too actually. But I wouldn’t apply ED if you are applying to UM’s med program because then when you get into Columbia, you might have taken a potential applicant out of UM’s pool. Be sure if your dream is to go to a ivy or UM’s med program! Good luck! I think you will do great!</p>

<p>I’m hoping to go to a 7 year med program too. Good luck to you! :D</p>

<p>You might want to apply to a school offering one of those accelerated medicine programs where you do not directly apply as a freshman…</p>
