Would I be able to get into a bs/md or ba/md program with my credentials?

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs

<p>Hey! Well It's almost time for me to start applying for colleges (going into junior year) and I've always had my sights set on medicine. So I was wondering if someone with my credentials has a chance of getting into either a BS/MD or BA/MD (preferably BS/MD) program.</p>

<p>Class Rank - Top 10% (maybe 5% I'm not completely sure), class size is around 300 students</p>

<p>SAT I - I haven't taken it yet but my practice tests are all coming out to be in the 2200-2400 range</p>

<p>SAT II - I've only taken Biology so far and I got a 750, will be taking Math II and Chemistry</p>

<p>AP - AP Biology (4), AP US History (undisclosed, I'm not the best at history)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars (School) - Varsity Tennis, Debate Club, NHS, Student Council</p>

<p>Extracurriculars (Out of School) - Hospital Volunteering (110 hours so far), shadowing doctors, over 700 hours of lab work, a little volunteering at the American Heart Association (maybe 10ish hours), won gold and bronze at local science fair (middle school), & working on publishing a scientific paper(s)</p>

<p>CLASSES</p>

<p>Freshman - Honors Geometry, Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, Honors US History, Gym, English I (highest for freshman), Spanish II, Robotics</p>

<p>Sophomore - AP Biology, AP US History, Pre-Calc, Honors English (highest), Composition & Communication (required)</p>

<p>Junior - AP Chemistry, AP English, AP Psychology, AP Calculus BC, Spanish III, Physics I Mechanics</p>

<p>Senior - Not sure but probably AP Economics, AP English, AP Physics, Organic Chemistry, and yet to be determined classes</p>

<p>So what are my chances?</p>

<p>A pretty good chance. 700 hours lab work? Define lab work.</p>

3

<p>Your stats so far are fine, although your SAT and GPA are both important and rather vague in what you provided. ECs have everything you need.</p>

4

<p>For lab work I mean biotechnology research and gpa unweighted is 3.98 and weighted is 4.15 (so far)</p>

5

<p>how do you have 700 hours of lab research/work?</p>

6

<p>by going there everyday of the entire summer</p>

7

<p>but back to the original question, what are my chances and which could I probably get into?</p>

<p>Since these programs are as hard as getting in the lower ivies go to the library and check out Michele Hernandez’s “A is for Admission” which is the best book for ivy admission since many of the pointers and tips are the same. Also both the ivies and these programs love research and Siemens science competition.</p>
