<p>*Might have forgotten some stuff</p>
<h2>I'm just wondering if there are any good medical schools/programs that would be practical for me to apply to with these qualifications. Thanks so much</h2>
<p>Miscellaneous Questions
Do you guys know any organizations/events/clubs I can join to show more of my medical interest?
Whats best practice book for APES and APUSH test?
Any recognizable summer organizations/events/etc for helping the environment or helping impoverished children?</p>
<p>The only one I know of is Brown’s accelerated 8 year med program. Should you be accepted, you can take the MCAT, pass it with the minimum acceptable passing grade, and then go onto Brown’s med. grad school.
Anyway, if not, a lot of other schools offer pre-med programs as a pre-professional emphasis in lieu of a major.</p>
<p>Your academic stats are good, but remember, it’s not having a lot of extracurriculars/activities. It’s about how much you commit to them/whether you have leadership in them or not/consistency.</p>
<p>Why don’t you volunteer at a hospital to show your medical interest? And then intern somewhere medical-related during the summer.
I didn’t take APES…but the REA study guide for APUSH is really, really good.
If you aren’t going to intern this summer, then try either Operation Smile or Invisible Children (both for impoverished children). Heal the Bay is an environmental thing you could try, too.</p>
<p>i cant find many hospitals that would accept highschoolers or it wont fit during my schedule. I was thinking perhaps doing research in like a university , but many professors dont want high school students.</p>
<p>i know about the committment stuff. The ones that i listed are the ones that i am committed to. how many hours would seem like a better thing to look at? cuz theres not mnuch stuff to do to get hours for some of the clubs. and in addition can you give yourself hours O_O like if you go home and take time out of your schedule to organize stuff do those count as dedication or you need to have like your conselour sign them off?
- i personally think that i’m not being as committed as i hope to be. is it too late? im a junior</p>
<p>*Anyway, if not, a lot of other schools offer pre-med programs as a pre-professional emphasis in lieu of a major <----- can you name some 
?? </p>
<p>do you know like any organizations like that let you go to south america to help the environment or kids? like kinda going to africa to help the children?</p>
<p>Northwestern and Rice both have a 7 or 8 year plan, but if you apply to those you have got to be REALLY REALLY good, like MIT/Harvard caliber, and you have to submit a special form before Dec 1 of your senior year. </p>
<p>A lot of schools have such programs, but, like I said, you have to be really good.</p>
<p>George Washington University has a 7 year med program. Although its not Ivy Caliber, the program itself not as competitive. But with your stats, you should definitely try for something higher.</p>
<p>^^ Mmm the only college that comes to mind is University of the Pacific, but when you start your college process, many of the non-Ivy league colleges offer “pre-med” as a pre-professional emphasis for a major. I wouldn’t worry if I were you though-you’d probably get into one of the Ivy League programs.</p>
<p>And it’s not too late if you’re a junior…like I said, do you have any leadership in the activities you’re doing? If not, you should try to get some senior year or sooner if possible.</p>
<p>I didn’t add in hours for the time I took to do plan activities at home…it looks a little unrealistic if you state 3 hours per week for one activity, and then 4 hours a week for another activity, and both are within the school year. Also, it’s not about how MANY hours you do-it’s how long you’ve been doing that activity. 3-4 years of two or three activities + leadership > 4 or 5 mini activities you do nothing in.</p>
<p>Lol I don’t know about going to South America…try Google?</p>
<p>i have leadership in my activies for american cancer society and the roboball thing, but i heard that you needed to put down the hours per week for each activity that you do… How does that work… or you DONT need to put down the hours? all the activities that i mentioned have been at least 2 years and some for the whole time at high school. i didnt join any new clubs</p>
<p>oh btw do you guys know any good summer school medical based programs? like kind of like SSP except for medicine?</p>
<p>Where you live has a impact–a lot of state school programs have a preference or limitation to in-state students.</p>

^That’s a list of all medical schools involved in BA/BS/MD programs. You might have to dig a little more to find all the undergraduate schools linked to them. For example, I know a bunch (aka more than I care to list) of schools are linked to Drexel’s Medical School and Albany Medical is linked to Union, Siena, RPI, and (I think) one of the SUNYs.</p>
<p>You should join (or even better, start) a health care club at your school (like HOSA, google it). I also recommend healthcare experience (shadowing doctors, volunteering at hospitals, research). Definitely take AP Bio.</p>
<p>Princeton Review, in my experience, has fantastic review books. I used their APUSH review book last year and it was good.</p>
<p>im from california, but like whee do you start for shadowing doctors, research. I dont want to do cliche stuff.</p>
