<p>I know these "what are my chances" threads are so annoying, but I figured I'd give it a shot...so what would be my chances at UCONN's special program in medicine and dentistry (just dentistry).</p>
<p>Stats:
CT Resident (born, raised, and representing...lol)
SAT (taken 3 times and improved each time substantially, this is only from the last sitting which is my highest score): 1270/1600 CR 600 M 670 W 620 (1890/2400)
SAT II: (haha yeah right)
GPA: UW 3.9/4.0 W 4.667/5
RANK: 10/235 Top 4% (as of end of Junior Year, my schedule is fixed so I can actually achieve a 5.0 W GPA this year, so my rank and cumulative GPA should move up considerably. Realistically, I will have an UW 4.0/4.0 and W 5.0/5.0 for my senior year, prior to senioritis of course, and class rank will probably bump to 5th or 6th.)
Senior Schedule (7 Periods)
1. Enligsh 12 Honors
2. Anatomy Honors
3. AP Calculus AB
4. Sociology
5. UCONN HDFS Honors (3 Uconn Credits, Pre-req for pre-dent majors at UCONN)
6. Italian IV Honors
7. Study
Classes: Taken all courses in either honors or AP where available. Like AP Calc, Honors Physics etc...
Sports: 2 Years Baseball 4 Years Wrestling (Captain 12)
EC's: Italian Club, National Honors Society, played rec baseball for 8 years in the fall, spring and summer, rec Wrestling plus school team (its like a job in that i train year round and wake up at crazy hours in the morning to lift weights or run), Volunteer Coaching Baseball, Freshman Orientation Group Leader, Meriden Youth Wrestling Tournament Volunteer, Some work experience IE Paper Boy for 2 Years, Video Shooting Freelancer for Four. I don't do too much, but I'm dedicated to what I do.
Awards: Student of the Month in Fine Arts, Honors Chemistry, and English 11 honors. Perfect attendance 2 Years in a row (lol i havent missed a day of school since freshman year)</p>
<p>Good story to go along with my reasons for wanting to become a dentist. </p>
<p>I have 2 good recommendation letters; one from Algebra II Honors, Pre-Calc Honors, and AP Calc Teacher (all same guy) and one from English 11 Honors, English 12 Honors (all same guy too), who are both UCONN alumni. </p>
<p>Note that the requirments for the special pre-dentistry 7 year program are much less than pre-medicine 7 year program. Also that UCONN HDFS Honors Class requires 40 hours of community service additional to school graduation requirement (20 hours) so add whatever volunteering with elderly, children, infants, at homes, shelters, and hospital hours for at least 40 on top of whatever is there now.</p>
