Chance Me: Indian Male, 3.7, 1480 SAT for BSMD programs and Pre-Med

Georgia tech, UGA, and unc chappel hill are the only ones that I applied for that weren’t safety. All reaches are RD, so deadline is early january.

Did you or will you meet these deadlines?

The deadline for applying to the VCU 8 year BA/MD has already passed. Applications closed Nov. 1.

Applications open in early August. Applications for entering freshman are due November 1 prior to the year of entry to VCU.

Augusta deadline appears to be early December.

Also, did you apply early action to Mercer. I believe you need to do so and get accepted to then apply to their 8 year program.

yep - already applied.

You already applied to VCU and UAB BS/MD programs?

You said - “a little more than a week"

So there’s 168 hrs in 7 days. Without sleep.

So where is 400+ hours coming from ?

I’d personally go with - Shadows various doctors in different disciplines over x days.

i’ve been shadowing for roughly 3 years now. those 402 hours are the cumulative hours… not just from that one trip.

I submitted VCU bsmd. UAB is not due until later, but I already submitted my app the the normal school since I have to get accepted first and only then can I apply to their EMSAP program.

I am a little surprised that you were permitted to shadow for the past 3 years, given you were in 10th grade and we were still dealing with the effects of Covid (not suggesting that you are making this up)

So make that clear - shadowed various physicians for 400 hrs over 3 years. And call it a day.

That’s my opinion anyway.

I made a facebook post and surprisingly, some local businesses replied saying that they would love to have me come and shadow and others replied that I could do an internship with them.

What do you mean local businesses? Do you mean doctor’s offices?

Do I need to say how many specialties I shadowed as it shows diverse experience in the field of medicine?

yeah - some small start-up medical practices and some well respected medical practices. a mix of both.

9th

Were these MD/DO offices?

1 DO, a bunch of MD, and 1 DMD
