<p>That is definitely not true. Some of my VCU undergrad friends have gotten into top med schools: UCSF, UVA, UCSD, Northwestern, UPitt, etc.</p>
<p>It's not hard at all to get into Honors College if you have at least 3.5</p>
<p>how many years is this program?</p>
<p>Hmmm...not really sure about all of the content of this thread, but it's incredibly rude to argue that any BA/MD program is BAD, when many people would aspire to go to ANY BA/MD program. Plus, if you haven't gone through the program, then you don't really know.</p>
<p>VCU isn't my top choice for BA/MD programs that I'm applying to, but that's not to say that VCU's program isn't every bit as good as USC's program.</p>
<p>I will say I don't like how the information was put out for VCU's program though...it's hard for me to get all the info straight, and I don't like that you have to do the app in one sitting.</p>
<p>On that note, does anyone know what the 2 essays are for the VCU app, since I haven't gone through to find out? And does anyone have an exam calendars for the AP tests in 06-07 and 07-08, since the app requires you to list the exact day you took the AP test?</p>
<p>I don’t know if people still follow this but I applied to the VCU guaranteed medical program and my stats are:
SAT: 2150 (770 Math, 690 CR & Writing)
SAT II: 770 Chemistry, 700 Math I
GPA: 3.85 WEIGHTED (but I improved: 3.5 freshman, 3.9 soph, 4.3 junior)
AP Chem., AP CS A, AP CS AB -> 5 & 3 on AP Eng Lang.
Senior classes:
- AP Biology, AP Physics C, AP Calculus AB, & AP English Lit.</p>
<p>But, I haven’t volunteered at all at a medical related place -> but was an animal caretaker at a State Park for 4 years.</p>
<p>& a bunch of clubs (and a med related non-profit’s P.R. Director). </p>
<p>Do you think I can make it ?</p>
