<p>I don't know too much about the average stats at BU. I'm applying though with somewhat similar numbers, so we'll see. I know HPME is incredibly hard, but it never hurts to apply. Also, Temple and Drexel are obviously less competitive, but I don't know very much about them at all. Good luck.</p>
<p>wow those schools are ALL safeties for you! i suggest you look at harder schools! i dont know what your gpa means though.. at my school we dont have gpas like that, ours are out of a 100 scale. so if you could convert that for me i could help you more. if your gpa was very high id say youd even have a legitimate chance at ivies bc you have that "wow" factor with all your extra curriculars. i havent heard of ALL of the scores on ur list though.. at least temple, drexel, and bu i know you have a great chance. i suggest maybe you look at washington university. its a great school, 7th or 8th hardest to get into in the country and its a fun school too.</p>
<p>fs08 is definitely impressed lol, too bad she won't be the one evaluating your app
don't get too full in the head tho.
Everything aboutyou, your grades test scores EC's, are all pretty decent, but hardly spectacular. Your GPA and SAT I are a little low for some of the tougher schools.
I'd say your chances for all of them are decent except for PPSP and HPME both of which are extreemly competitive (esp HPME). USC and BU seem to be good fits u though. Your 100 hours at the hospitall will be a boost.
btw I'm also applying for PPSP, and hoping to submit my app this weekend</p>
<p>Lol, you go to msjhs huh? Hmm.. decent ECs and SATS. GPA is a tad low, but considering it's Mission, they'll most likely do their research and the insane API ranking will factor in. :0]</p>
<p>Case PPSP student here - your stats look great and I do wish you the best of luck. Just make sure you have some clinical experience in case you are asked a question of that nature during the interviews, for which I am sure you will be getting letters for pretty soon.</p>
