<p>Hi I am a rising junior at an international school in Asia (I am a US citizen)</p>

<p>Some stats:

  1. Top 20-30% of class with 96-7% gpa throughout high school (grades are inflated at my school)
  2. plan to get around 2310-50 on sat1
  3. SAT2
  • Chem: 750
  • USH: 790
  1. MUN: got few best delegate awards, chaired at a few international conferences
  2. North Korean Human Rights: exec pos.
  3. Swimming: won 1st at national competitions, set 6-7 school records
  • i have decent times that could maybe get me recruited to an ivy league school</p>

<p>I was just wondering if one is able to be recruited to a accelerated medical program similarly to other undergraduate programs? I am a competitive swimmer and I want to pursue something in the medical field in the future whether it be a surgeon or primary care physician. could swimming help me get to these accelerated medical programs with an advantage?</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I think the first thing you need is CR+M >1500
Then you should show interest in medicine…have you volunteered at a hospital or shadowed a doctor something? Because why would they want to admit you if you don’t even know if you really like medicine?</p>

<p>They recruit swimmers because they want fast time on their team.</p>

<p>They don’t need recruit for accelerated programs because it recruits itself. Also you have to keep up your grade point average and take difficult classes and that is tougher while doing a sport so I would not think the University would use a sport to recruit for an accelerated program.</p>
