I came to that conclusion based on the fact that your SAT was a high score for your school. At good schools, your score would be lowish. The fact that your score was high for your school means that the problem isn’t that you’re a “bad test taker,” it means that the education system that you’ve been exposed to is weak.

I also came to that conclusion based on your AP scores. At my kids’ school, students were expected to get 4’s and 5’s. If you got a 3, you weren’t allowed to take anymore AP exams. My kids got all 5’s on their AP exams, except for one 4 where my son self-studied for an exam (AP English comp)…and all he did was take a couple of practice exams first…then took the test.

If you truly want to become a doctor, then you have to proceed VERY carefully otherwise you’re going to get weeded out. Your premed classmates will be stronger than you are in most cases. Their GPAs and test scores will be in the mid-to-high 90th percentiles.

I don’t know where you’re planning to go to college, but stick to good schools where you can get the foundation that you lack and proceed from there.
