<p>I’m 6’5" with my Jordans on, I like food, I’m vegetarian, and I can speak Tamil sort of fluently, except my relatives make fun of my accent lol</p>

<p>I would appreciate any comments… Oh yeah, I want to follow a pre-med track, and I was thinking about applying to some BS/MD combined programs, but I’m not sure… what do you guys think? Are there any other schools I should consider? THANKS!!</p>

<p>Definately in at UConn and BC… Not familiar enough with any of the others.</p>

<p>Thanks! Anyone else?</p>

<p>Your stats are definitely impressive. Let’s just say if you don’t get into atleast half of the schools you listed, I’ll probably end up going to a local community college. ;)</p>

<p>And HYP are definitely possible, I wouldn’t just say it’s a “just for fun” type of thing. You have a strong chance at all.</p>

<p>i would say that HYP isnt just for fun. you are a serious candidate.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone…Any suggestions for combined BS/MD programs??</p>

<p>which BS/MD programs are you looking at? There are ones that you’ll likely get into based on your resume, others not so much.</p>

<p>UNiversity of Rocehster has a good one. And Rochester medical center is a top rated Med School. Its called REMS… you might want to check that out</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ve heard about REMS, and I heard that they pick candidates based on research experience (on top of other things of course). That would really help me. I’ve also heard about PLME, HPME, George Washington’s combined program and I think UCONN has a combined program as well. Does anyone know anything about UCONN’s combined program in terms of admissions?</p>
