<p>How high do your ACT scores typically have to be? I have quite a few extra curricular activities, as well as having taken college courses since 8th grade; however, I cannot seem to raise my ACT scores to even in the 30s. Do I have any chance whatsoever? :(</p>
<p>Please respond. I’m dying here!!</p>
<p>Your scores ACT or SATs need to be in the top tier of applicants in order to get in Brown.</p>

<p>If your scores are low. You should have other alternatives to Brown.</p>
<p>I understand that for the PLME program you need to have pretty damn good scores, but that is not exactly true for regular admission. And who knows, maybe I’ll spark some interest in the admission committee, and they won’t give an “f” about my scores. Hopeful thinking. ;)</p>
<p>for plme, the average sat is 2190…sooooo that’s not even very high</p>
<p><a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
<p>A 29 seems to translate into approximately a 1300, or a 1950 if multiplied out. That’s significantly below a 2190.</p>
<p>MustAttendBrown,
Why don’t you just be positive and apply to Brown and see what happen. In regard to PLME, it is considered one of the most selective BS/BA/MD. This year (2007) even relatively unknown combined programs at state schools were very selective, rejecting valedictorians with tons of medical and other ECs and ACT=33. Apply to wide range of schools and do not let anything to put you down. Relax and good luck!</p>
<p>^ITA with MiamiDAP. Just apply to Brown and hope for the best. Work hard on your application, so you know you have given it your best effort. I think next year you’ll laugh at your anxiety.</p>
<p>Thanks for boosting my spirit, MiamiDAP and Central Perky! :)</p>
<p>Speaking of 7yr med programs, I’m a freshman in U of Miami’s HPM program. Feel free to PM me w/ questions</p>
<p>I’m apply to miami’s dap program and the average applicants have way high test scores (at least 33)</p>
<p>^That is correct. Suggestion - apply to all 3 schools in DAP program, unless you do not want to go to Cinci or Dayton for undergrad for some reason. It is one application, anyway. Miami University is a very good choice. Honors are treated like royalty - the only airconditioned dorms on campus, tons of scholarships, priority registration after 1st semester (makes huge difference), free summer, including abroad after you complete some # of credit hours. They will have something like Scholar Saturday in February with additional scholarship attached, attend if you get an invitation. There are NO ADDITIONAL TESTING for any scholarships like at Ohio State or Cinci. If you are top 2% and 31+, you should get into Honors (top 200 applicants). You have to apply to Harrison scholarship if you are applying for DAP, which is automatic application to Honors. However, not all DAPs (10 at Miami) are Harrisons (43 spots last year).</p>
<p>wait wats the harrisons</p>
<p>^ I was referring to people who got Harrison scholarship at Miami University (Ohio).</p>
<p>wait i thought browns program was a guaranteed acceptance 8 year track…not 7 years??</p>
<p>it is 8 years</p>
