<p>If anyone has personal experience with the University of Edinburgh, then I would be very grateful if you chanced me.
My test scores are:
SAT Critical Reading: 800
SAT Math: 800
SAT Writing: 670
AP Calculus AB: 5 (predicted)
AP Language and Composition: 4 (predicted)
AP Physics Mechanics C: 4 (predicted)
AP Statistics: 3
AP Literature and Composition: 3
SAT Chemistry Subject Test: 800 (predicted)
SAT Math Subject Test: 800 (predicted)</p>

<p>In their online admissions page for American students, they stated that they do not request US transcripts for undergraduates, which is good for me because my transcripts are bad. </p>

<p>I would be applying to the five-year med program, and I was wondering if I even stood a chance. Can I apply to more than one program/major, so that if I were not to get into the med program, I could still get into another program (like international studies). </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Have you read this page:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/medicine-vet-medicine/undergraduate/medicine/applying/requirements”>http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/medicine-vet-medicine/undergraduate/medicine/applying/requirements&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Headline numbers: they get 700+ international applications for 17 places.</p>

<p>Plus it says here they don’t normally consider applicants applying directly from US high schools for medicine:</p>

<p>You could apply for another subject.</p>
