<p>So what would you recommend I apply to. And please if I cant get into any, dont be afraid to say it. I’ll be more upset if I see 3429438534 views and not 1 reply because ur afraid to criticize me.</p>

<p>sat/act scores?</p>

3

<p>whoah 500 people in your school- so small.
My class of 2007 has a 1000 people</p>

4

<p>I think it might be ur class rank that you need to improve.</p>

5

<p>It depends on what you call as "prestigous." Im assuming that prestigous means PLME (Brown Medical School), Rice/Baylor, HPME (Northwestern Medical School), or Boston Univeristy. Those programs are incredibly hard to get into and you really need nice SATs and ECCs and all that stuff. SAT I is VERY important.</p>

6

<p>which ones do not completely emphasizes on sat</p>

7

<p>Actually there are a quite a few of them that will take an ACT score, which is alot easier IMHO.</p>

<p>SAT is only at a few schools, namely boston</p>

8

<p>sat scores are very important. A 2100 isn't going to get you close to top programs. in fact, you really need a 2200 to have good chances at any of the programs.</p>

9

<p>I think that is nuts, but neccesary. They probably don't want to admit people that are just going to drop out later, but still I don't that that one standardized test should provide an overall indicator of an applicant.</p>

<p>It's too bad that schools these days can't use one unified curriculum as to take all that application weightage from standardized tests off.</p>

10

<p>im sorry, but i find that ridiculous to over emphasize on one test. They should look at all criteria with equality. O well</p>

11

<p>foodisgood, is a 1510 m+v competitive for getting a Penn State interview or should i take it again?</p>

12

<p>1510 is cutting it close but should be ok. 1500 was pretty much the unoffical cutoff for the 05-06 season.</p>

13

<p>ive been looking for a place to post this... im interested in ba/md programs in general and i have pretty competitive school grades and ecs and everything but i got a 730 on the chem SAT2...how much will this impact acceptance?? its really been bugging me</p>

14

<p>The obvious advice is not to apply to programs that require the chem SAT 2. I got a 680 on my chem SAT 2, so I didn't apply to places like HPME (and also I didn't love other things about HPME). </p>

<p>Rice/Baylor is one selective one that doesn't require it. ;)</p>

<p>Although - 730 is a decent score, so you don't need to totally rule out a program you love because of it.</p>
