My scores are lower than average for BS/MD programs, but I think my ECs and research make up for this. Let me know your thoughts?
Btw, by good colleges, I mean Emory, Wash U, UT Austin, U Wash, etc. for the Pre-Med track and Bio/Public Health major depending on the school.
My Stats:
SAT: highest math: 780; highest reading: 660; SS: 1440 (should I take another to improve my reading score? already taken 3 times)
ACT: 30 (retaking, but I probably won’t submit this score)
my rank was 158/671, but my school got rid of rank recently because they realized that our school was extremely competitive (needed a 5.4 GPA to be in top 10%)
unweighted GPA: 3.78/4
