Hi,
I am a Hispanic student from western PA and I am really wanting to get into a BS/MD program. I am fully aware of the near impossible chances of getting into BS/MD programs, but there is nothing I want and thrive for more than to become a doctor and get accepted to a BS/MD program. My scores aren’t great… and I am wondering if I have ANY chance at all in getting into BS/MDs in PA. My credentials are below as well as a current resume… please let me know of my chances in getting into any BS/MD possible… Idealy I want to get into Brown PLME, but I’ve been looking at other BS/MDs in PA which are listed at the bottom… will being hispanic be helpful at all in this process!!!
