<p>Wow, valedictorian with 3.93? You’re lucky, it’s so competitive at my school.
I’d retake those SAT IIs, and work on EC’s</p>

<p>Ivies do not offer merit scholarships, but do have perhaps the best need-based aid. You’ll need a higher science Subject Test to be more competitive for combined BA/MD programs.</p>

<p>I think you have a better chance going the normal route than the combined route, especially if your looking at a place like Brown PLME or NU HPME. They’re very competitive and very hard to get in to. Thousands of applications for a handful of spots.
Good Luck.</p>

<p>Don’t set sights on bs/md. You have high need so you need to focus on that. </p>

<p>Do you have anon custodial parent?</p>

<p>How low income are you. </p>

<p>Are you a likely nmsf,</p>

<p>What state arw you in</p>

<p>Boston university has the seven year medical program. Its extremely competitive though and you have to take very specific SAT subject tests to get admitted into it, I think its chemistry, math II, and either biology, or a humanity/language. Honestly, even if you didn’t get into it, what is one year off of college? Just do well in colleges take the MCAT and apply to medical school.</p>

7

<p>Yea I live in Texas and I was thinking that 8 year may be best go with some classes knocked off from AP can maybe save me a year or something. Im really sweating the upcoming MCAT cuz if I dont do well ill have to give up my medical school fantasies. Yea my parents are not living in the U.S. I live with relatives so basically income = 0$ Im on my own when it comes to college.</p>

8

<p>And we are on weighted system so I don’t think I transferred that GPA right might be 4.0 I guess I did it wrong because you said that that was unlikely. What do you guys recommend for me to do getting into BS/MD? Ill be willing to get low need based scholarship and loan if I get in.</p>

<p>what is nmsf?</p>

10

<p>^national merit semi-finalist?</p>

<p>I think Baylor in Texas has a 6 or 7 year program</p>

11

<p>If my Parents Income must be stated it is not near the poverty line here because they make money in rupees so they make like 95k a year combined and they need to live there they cant afford to save money. : (</p>
