<p>Hi! As you can judge by my name, I am very desperate to gather some information. I am a rising senior, and the Common Application is just a few days from opening up. Needless to say, I feel very pressed about my situation. My parents want me to get into an accelerated medical program here in the USA. If not, I will have to go to India and complete my medical degree. For me, I would much rather stay here in the USA because all of schooling has been done here. I know for a fact I would find it difficult to adjust to culture, language, and customs of India, mainly due to the fact that I have been away from home so long. It's not that I do not like India or anything like that! But, I would simply just feel more comfortable staying here. My parents prefer an accelerated fast track path over the normal route because I do not have the hassle of applying to medical school, taking the MCAT, etc. Basically, they want me to be guaranteed a spot in medical school so I can do the degree I want to. I also have the same opinion and would be so grateful if I got into a school in the USA. Below I've listed some of accomplishments from my high school career. Would anybody be willing to tell me if I can "make it or break it?"</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8/4.0 (I have a couple B's here and there, but I have mostly A's. I have never gotten a grade below a C.)</p>
<p>AP's taken by the end of High School
1. AP Environmental Science (sophomore year)
2. AP Statistics (sophomore year)
3. AP English Language & Composition (junior year)
4. AP Biology (junior year)
5. AP Chemistry (junior year)
6. AP Calculus AB/BC (junior year)
7. AP Physics (junior year)
8. AP Human Geography (junior year)
9. AP English Literature & Composition (senior year)
10. AP Government & Politics (senior year)
11. AP European History (senior year)
12. AP Psychology (senior year)</p>
<p>^Of all these classes listed so far, I have only received a B in AP Chemistry, AP English Language & Composition, and AP Calculus AB/BC. However, I suppose I cannot blame myself considering I had many more additional and challenging courses to endure.</p>
<p>Test Scores:
SAT Math-730
SAT Critical Reading- 650
SAT Writing- 710
ACT Composite- 34</p>
<p>^Between the SAT & ACT, I will most likely submit my ACT score. This is mainly because I unfortunately (irresponsibly) have not taken SAT Subject Tests. Would this be an okay score to get into an accelerated medical program?</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
1. Swim Team
2. Basketball Team
3. National Honors Society
4. French National Honors Society (historian)
5. Multicultural Club
6. Environmental Club (treasurer and then vice president)
7. Captain of a Bollywood Dance Team
8. Volunteered at Cultural Events
9. Volunteered with Feed My Starving Children
10. Volunteered in a Soup Kitchen
11. Volunteered in a Hospital for 2 Years
12. Volunteered in a Rescue Medical Camp in Jammu/Kashmir, India
13. Tutoring Middle School & Elementary School Children</p>
<p>Awards/Honors:
1. Awarded Certificate of Success in the National French Exam (this occured twice)
2. President's Volunteer Award</p>
<p>Teacher Reccomendations: I have a really good reputation with a math teacher, a science teacher, and my French teacher. I believe my guidance counselor also appreciates me, as he says I am an excellent student.</p>
<p>Is there anything I missed?
I am just really concerned about the fact that I have a few B's here and there. I feel like that would potentially inhibit, or even prohibit, my chances of getting into an accelerated medical program.
Also, are there any schools you know of that have this program that you'd highly reccommend to me? I am always open to options anywhere.
Personally, I am eyeing Baylor's Program as well 3 programs in New York: Union/AMC, Siena/AMC, and RPI/AMC.</p>
<p>Thank you for your feedback! :)</p>
