<p>Forget the medical school admit numbers. They are worthless to you.</p>
<p>BC’s early assurance program to Tufts comes at a steep price, even if you are accepted. Tufts is one of the most expensive US med schools and you will locking yourself in and eliminating your cheaper, instate public. Moreover, the Early Assurance is extremely competitive requiring a high gpa, and if you can earn a high gpa through organic, you have a great shot at many other med schools.</p>
<p>You do not need to be at the top of your class to score research opportunities at BC. Plus, Boston has a gazillion high tech firms in the 'hood all of which are seeking interns.</p>
<p>You also should consider research opportunity somewhere else over the summer. Do you really want to hang around Rochester all year? Not saying Rochester is a bad place to be, but why not apply to Mayo or Harvard or Hopkins or hundreds of other places for a summer gig?</p>
<p>Besides your interest in music, what about a major? Do you like to read and write? BC’s Core curriculum will require it (which will hopefully pay off in the mcat-VR).</p>
