Perhaps I am overreacting and won’t have to attend a CC; I believe I did well enough on the SAT. I panicked to be honest. My score should be somewhere from 1250-1350. This combined with the chemistry and Biology E/M subject tests should make me competitive for university admissions. Also, could you take a look at my latest thread? I’d like to have your opinion.

Please let me know what your SAT ends up being.
I have a Facebook group of parents of pre-professional students at UAlabama (mostly premed, but also prelaw, prePA, prePT, etc). Virtually all of these students are on full or 2/3 tuition scholarships…so these are students who had a minimum of an ACT 30 or SAT equivalent.
Started the group late in October (mistake! Wish I had started 12 months ago!). The admissions results were all very good, with the exception of one strong-stats applicant who applied late (Sept/Oct) and therefore received no IIs.
The rest of the applicants all received multiple acceptances. One did apply to MD/PhD programs and also received multiple acceptances. I think he chose UPenn or WashU (don’t remember).
I think Alabama is a great school for strong students who are premed. The sciences are strong, the school does Committee Letters, and the advising is evolving because so many OOS students attend and are applying nationwide. If you are a SERIOUS student, with the interest and academic talents to do well in the premed prereqs, including Orgo and your chosen major, then you’ll likely emerge with a med-school worthy GPA.
