<p>i dont’ know the exact requirements for those specific programs, but you have a chance at them unless there is an exact SAT cutoff that I dont’ know of. raising that SAT score if possible to 1400 is the best thing you can do now aside from applications. my cousin raised hers from 1360 to 1400 and got into VCU and UMKC (or at least interview) even with 2 or 3 C’s in course such as AP chemistry. if not then work hard on those applications, stony brook has very limited seating so that mite be a little tougher. UCONN and Cinncinati might be a little harder as well. You should also consider northeastern ohio, or michigan state university</p>

<p>i’m sorry i haven’t looked at the posts in this room for a whiillle. yea, what i’m talking about is combined ba-bs/md programs (refer to combined programs room of this pre-med forum). of course, tho, i know ur situation and should tell u that these programs are only for high school seniors applying to college…basically, they all offer conditional acceptance to med school–some with more perks than others. i.e. no mcat requirement for some, low gpa-to-be-maintained requirement, accelerated undergraduate term (if u consider that a plus), etc…</p>
