<p>I second Awesome, there’s no need to retake your tests, especially with the superscore 36. Your scores are very very good already. </p>
<p>I have a friend that was invited to apply to GAP and got an interview with them (but wasn’t accepted in the end which is ok because he got into his first choice combined program). I received full tuition at Pitt and am leaving for Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks. We both had standardized test scores slightly lower than yours, slightly lower/fewer AP scores, and less impressive extracurriculars. We’re from an underrepresented state, like you are. My point: you’re very good. And you should be pretty set for a GAP invite (although ultimate acceptance is a very high reach for anybody, just because there are so few spots) and a very good merit scholarship. I’m not very sure if being Indian will help you for GAP: the racial composition of undergrad-med programs has been described to me as Indian with a few white and Asians and maybe a real URM somewhere (although idk if GAP cares about racial composition). </p>
<p>Of course, if money is the primary aim, be sure to apply WIDE to similar schools (basically public schools and private schools ranked beneath 30-ish will probably get you some nice packages – the caveat is that you don’t know which ones will). If you work as hard as you did in high school, it is likely that you’ll be able to gain admission into some very good med schools after 4 years at whatever undergrad school offers you good merit aid. One thing to note about GAP is that you’ll have to maintain a 3.75 GPA, so what GAP is doing is ensuring that you’re statistically good enough for Pitt Med (and basically any other med school) while trying to keep you at Pitt (though you may be qualified for and prefer another med school). But that really applies for most combined programs, I guess. </p>
<p>Chancellor’s is also very competitive (I didn’t get an invite [though they didn’t receive my transcript until January, and it may have been too late at that point] and I don’t think my friend did either), and it would probably be very helpful if you applied early in order to get an invite for an interview. It’s basically another crapshot. </p>
