Possibility of BS/MD?

Hi, I just wanted to know if it was possible for me to go get into a BS/MD program, especially the VCU Guaranteed Medical program.

GPA: 3.90 unweighted, 4.94 weighted
SAT I: 2150 (780 Math, 700 CR, 670 Writing)- will take again in the fall
SAT II: 760 Bio, 760 Math I, probably 800 Math II and high 700s for Chemistry (don't have those scores yet)
ACT: 33 (35 Math, 33 Reading, 33 English, 32 Science, 31 Writing)

I have researched with professors at VCU, mainly in the field of genetics for a summer; won 1st place in my category at regional science fair.
~200 hours volunteering at local hospital in the ER
Shadowed some doctors last summer, and will shadow more this summer (mainly pediatric neurology)

Thanks a lot!

Higher SAT scores could definitely help, but your app looks strong regardless.

Ok thanks, I found out my SAT 2 scores: 800 Math 2, 770 Chemistry. How competitive would my application be for something like HPME?

Your SAT2s are solid, but programs like HPME will look for very high SATs too, getting 2200-2300+ would really help.
