Hi everyone! I’m currently a junior from Massachusetts and was wondering if you could assess my chances for getting into a BS/MD program. Currently, my theme for applications is migrant healthcare accessibility.

ORM, Asian Female

UW GPA: 3.98

W GPA: 4.62 (according to my calculations, I will end up with a 4.77 GPA next year or a 4.79 GPA if I get an A+ in APUSH/AP Lang)

ACT Score: 35

Class Rank: My school doesn’t rank.

Concerns with College Costs: None.

Extracurricular Activities:

1. Research Fellow in a Prestigious Research Program in Massachusetts (currently conducting analytical research on assessing healthcare literacy among refugees)

2. Research Fellow at a local university’s virology lab (analyze protein structures and connections)

3. Medical Clinic Volunteer at a local Urgent Care Clinics (450+ volunteer hours as of now)

4. Hospital Volunteer at a local hospital (50+ volunteer hours as of now)

5. Director of a program that educates refugees about healthcare and public health in the United States

6. Public Benefits Volunteer for Refugees at a local organization (170+ volunteer hours as of now)

7. Intern at a local anti-immigration detention organization where I monitored the organization’s social media and organized rallies for some of its clients’ campaigns (300+ hours as of now)

8. Tutor for immigrant children who resettled in the United States (110+ hours as of now)

Awards:

1. Received an award from a refugee organization for my creation of the program at which I am now a director (educates refugees)

2. Received the Pat Rowell Award from Massachusetts General Hospital due to my extensive healthcare service at my local clinic and the hospital

3. Received an NSLI-Y summer scholarship to study Arabic in Jordan (learned Arabic to communicate with large Afghan refugee pop. in Massachusetts who come to the clinic)

Personally, I feel really worried about doing interviews for BS/MD programs. I plan on applying to research programs this summer, and although they do have an interview component, BS/MD interviews are making me jittery. My long-term goal is to become a cardiologist and learn fluent Arabic to give back to my immigrant community.
