ACT Tutor Club (Tutor)
UNICEF (Member, possibly VP - not sure yet)
Chess Club (VP)
Sports: Cross Country (9th)
Tennis (10th and 11th)

Hi! I’m a rising senior too and I’m also looking into accelerated med programs! …so I’m not too sure about the qualifications for the programs, but I think that your AP scores may be problematic–since AP curricula are meant to emulate the college experience, your scores might imply to colleges that you’re not ready for college courses and the rigor (which I’m sure is not true about you!) so maybe address that in the “additional comments” section of your college apps. Your GPA is good, if you have time then maybe retake the ACT and aim for a 33 or higher, and you have great leadership activities! What kind of research are you doing? The more “medical” it is, the better! For Ivy Leagues, however, no one really knows their chances. It’s honestly a coin toss–I read about a kid who built a fully functional nuclear reactor from scratch in his garage and still got rejected from MIT.
