Which BA/MD Programs are right for me?

<p>Hey guys,
Im a junior. I have a CGPA of 3.62 and a WGPA of 4.05
I got two 1990's on the SAT's, but my best scores would add up to 2070.
I havent gotten my ACT score yet, but definitely over 30.
What BA/MD schools do i actually have a chance in? None? im not completely sure. I know they are VERY competitive. I preferred to waive the MCAT, but with my stats i dont think that possible. Or is it? idk. So please help me! If i need a reality check and am in over my head about any BA/MD programs, tell me! if not, make suggestions!
Also, does anyone know the "easiest" programs to get into? (i know they're not actually easy)</p>

<p>You will definitely need to raise your unweighted GPA to at least a 3.75 and your SATs to about a 2200. Based on your grades alone, it is difficult to say anything about the possibility of getting accepted. What are your leadership/volunteering/activities stats?</p>

<p>im not planning on taking the SAT’s again. Im waiting for my act scores and hopefully they will be better than my sats. And nothing much. I got accepted into the Brandeis Global Youth Summit on the Future of Medicine. But that is over this summer. Im starting to volunteer at hospitals and clinics.
I also wanted to know about backups. I face the facts, there isnt a good chance for me to be accepted. So what are some good colleges that have some good premed programs?</p>

<p>What state are you from? If you’re from Texas it’s definitely possible</p>

<p>Huh Asianandproud? 3.62 can get you into a combined program when 4.5s are getting turned down in Texas?</p>

<p>@texaspg there are some “lesser known” programs through the other ut schools that feed into utmb. I think there’s less competition for them (and the requirements are pretty low…24 mcat and a 3.0 gpa to matriculate to the med school)</p>

<p>Everybody should move to Texas for those requirements… Anyway it will be extremely difficult to get into a program with a 1990, I would highly recommend retaking it one more time in October, I’m glad I did.</p>

<p>Im from Maryland. And yeah, i am seriously considering retaking it in October. But what if my ACT scores come back really high? would schools care if my SAT’s are low but ACT is high? and if i get straight a’s this semester, my CGPA will definitely go up. probably around 3.7-3.8</p>

<p>High GPA though.</p>

<p>I was told that I was not chosen for the NJMS programs because of my SAT/ACT discrepancy. Programs don’t like to see that.</p>

<p>seriously? What if you never submitted one of the scores?</p>

<p>I guess I should have only sent them my ACT…</p>

<p>alright. The school in texas you sent me seems to have very low application requirements. But i doubt that the people they accept actually have those stats. I just wanna know, what schools are there on the eastern coast that i actually have a chance at being accepted to? (lets assume i get 30-32 on the ACT)…
Btw, my counselor told me that Virginia Commonwealth might be a good option. Is this true?</p>

<p>I they appear to have a nice program, but they are still pretty competitive.</p>

<p>yeah, theyre all gunna be competitive to a certain amount. But seriously, do i have a chance? just give it to me straight. Any schools you guys know of that id actually have a chance at?</p>

<p>Hey guys, just wondering, do ALL BA/MD programs take the ACT w/ writing? For example, i got a 34 on the ACT (33 english, 36 math, 32 reading, 33 science, and score of 10 on the essay). I also got two 1990’s on the SAT (best scores add up to 2070).
I wanted to know what would be my best option? Sending…ACT only, SAT Only, or Both?</p>

<p>Most prefer the SAT, some don’t take the ACT (ex. Stony Brook). Where are you looking to apply?</p>

<p>do you think giving the better ACT will effect whether i will be accepted or not? and i was thinking about applying to penn state w/ jefferson, Drexel w/ multiple different colleges, GW, Albany, stony brook, missour w/kansas, temple,</p>

<p>D. did not use SAT when she applied, she used ACT, since her ACT score was better. 34 is very competitive. GPA = 3.6 is NOT, weighted is irrelevent. But who will prevent you from applying? Just apply to wide range and see what happens.</p>

<p>if i get straight A’s in 7 classes this semester, how much do you think that would raise my GPA from 3.6? but i know, apparently temple university called and told my mom that with my scores, i have a good chance of being accepted and getting a scholarship? is that true?</p>
