University Scholars Program in Medicine Application

<p>I recently received an application from WUSTL for the university Scholars Program in Medicine and am wondering if it is just advertising material from the school through standardized testing since I never requested the application. Also, WUSTL is my top choice right now and I'm wondering if any of you might know about the program and/or know someone in the program to let me know how difficult the application process is and how tough the program actually is. I would really appreciate your help!! Thanks!!!!</p>

<p>For the USPM stats to get in you have to write compelling essays demonstrating a passion for medicine, be involved in science research/science oriented clubs, maintain high grades in science courses, and have high testing scores. I imagine the testing scores to get into WashU’s USPM program are similar to those of Northwestern HPME: Average ACT-35, Average SAT- (CR-761,M-780,W-773). Though these are Northwestern HPME stats, WashU’s stats are probably extremely similar. I was told thousands apply to USPM because WashU is a premed haven with tons of people aspiring to make it into the program, 20 people get calls for interviews, and 5-7 actually make it through. Many who make it in will turn down Harvard, Yale, and Princeton to attend such a program. Hope that helps!</p>
