<p>Test scores?</p>

<p>You don’t stand out really at all, and as an Asian female, you only blend more into the crowd. If you really want to go to med school, your best option is just to go the traditional way. Those special programs are HARD to get into. By the traditional way, I mean get a 4-year degree than go to med school after. </p>
