haven't taken any AP tests but by the end of senior year, planning to take:

Not a really good chance. For HPME specifically, test scores and gpa can get you an application. After that, passion for medicine is what they look at based on you essay and interviews both of which are of utmost importance. I recommend shadowing a doctor or doing a medical internship.
