<p>ur stats are amazing but to get an interview it will come down to ur essay..which in reality i doubt they read or take into much consideration. i think u have a great chance to get an interview though. and from there it all depends on how u present urself. when u reach that pt it will not matter how high ur ACT or what ur weighted GPA was. it all depends on how much u care about medicine and this program. u have to connect ur love for medicine with all the activities u've done. more importantly, they don't want to see one sided talent. and from what i see u don't have that problem at all. ur multi-dimensional. they want to see ur passions and they want to hear about them. confidence is definitely a key value!</p>
<p>thanks for the advice!</p>

<p>does anyone know when the application for this program is released?</p>
<p>we should make a new thread for all of us applying this fall</p>
<p>just wondering, what were the average stats for those accepted including ACT/GPA</p>
<p>Can high school seniors apply to the 6 year program in the summer, and how many people in this position get interviewed/accepted?
and what are the major req. for out of state including ACT/GPA/Rank is that END Of JUNIOR year or SENIOR year?</p>
<p>Docnerd, the application is due in the Fall: <a href="http://www.umkc.edu/Admissions/2008MedApplication.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.umkc.edu/Admissions/2008MedApplication.pdf</a></p>
<p>I don't know whether this is the application for this year or for next year 2009. But it will give you an idea and what the essay will be.</p>
<p>The SAT is usually like 1200 and rank would be at the end of Junior year.</p>
<p>Sorry that 1200 is on a 1600 scale.</p>
<p>Which is an 1800 on the 2400 scale. Basically, you just divide the new score by 1.5, and you get the old score.</p>
<p>Actually no Sharingan89. Apparently they don't look at the writing score at all. They only look at the verbal and math like most institutions, as the writing section is relatively new, so there isn't hard research showing whether it is a valid predictor of writing skills.</p>
<p>So even if your score is out of 2400, UMKC School of Medicine will only look at the Verbal and Math scores and make it out of 1600.</p>
<p>I want to know what/which BS/MD program i can get into with my stats, I dont really like D.O's but if i cant get into MD, DO is my backup;no offense.
I know these programs are competitive but here are my stats, please give me honest feedback::
GPA: 4.0 unweighted, i dunno weighted
Rank: 1(out of 604)
ACT: 30 but shooting for a 33
SATI: - will take soon
PSAT: 192
SAT II: Math2-710 Bio-770
I've taken AP Bio and AP Calc as a junior, i'll be a senior soon and will take AP Chem, dual enroll in Calc II and III and might take AP History.</p>

<p>Please help me out, I am applying to Wayne State University's MedStart program and also Michigan State Universitiy's BS/MD program. I am also applying to a couple of others which i will list at anyone's request.</p>
<p>With your stats, even if by chance you don't get into a combined MD degree program, you will be doing yourself a GREAT disservice by going into a DO program immediately.</p>
<p>It's understandable to do the D.O. program if your GPA or MCAT is low in undergrad, but entering a combined D.O. program NOW, because you think you THINK you will not get 1 M.D. acceptance is just plain silly.</p>
<p>You will need to write Great essays showing where your heart is & compassion & passion too. You will do fine. Apply to a lot of programs. Being Val is amazing! Good work! This counts for a lot.</p>
<p>HappytoGraduate: Ok, your right no DO, a physician i even shadowed once, said that thats where the guys who wernt good enough for MD go for. In fact, i have a cousin who was called for an interview at 3 BS/MD programs, but didnt get into any, but once a interviewer asked him "if you dont get into our BS/MD program, what will you do?" and my cousin replied " I will apply to BS/MD programs all over the nation, and if i cant get into any, i will go for DO" and as soon as he said that the interviewer shook his head side to side</p>
<p>Oreo45: thanks! Yeah i'll be sure it put a lot of effort and really focus on my essays. and i'm currently applying to around 10 colleges and as soon as i'm done with their apps, i'll try to apply to more, but first i'll focus on quality, then quantitiy lol</p>
<p>animefreakss4, sorry I wasn't trying to put down D.O. programs, my point is the bias you will encounter. It is true that the average GPA and MCAT scores that enroll in D.O. school are lower than M.D. schools. Thus, especially in very competitive specialities, it is very difficult for D.O. students to be able to match in them. Don't close your doors so early in the game.</p>
<p>I can not believe your cousin said that. The proper answer should have been "If I do not get into your combined BS/MD program (he shouldn't have mentioned others, after all then it looks like you find nothing special about that program) then I will pursue an undergraduate degree, complete the premed requirements, and the MCAT and apply to medical school the traditional way. My guess is he didn't get into that program. LOL. They are trying to test and see whether you still have the resolve to do the traditional way that 98% of students do to get into medical school, or whether you're just looking for an EASY way to get into med school. If you say you're applying for D.O. school, then it looks like to them (as they have lower average GPAs and MCATs), that you're just looking for an easy way to wear a white coat and be called "Doctor".</p>
<p>But definitely research your programs well. Ask students who are further in the program how they felt the medical school helped with respect to preparing for USMLE Step 1, opportunities for clinical or basic science research, how students do in the match esp. with matching in competitive specialties.</p>
