I’m planning to apply to BS/DO and BS/MD programs, but I have no idea which ones are the least selective (I’m not looking for one EASY to get in: they don’t exist). My stats are far from superior on CC standards, but hey, it’s ok to have dreams:

Competition & Awards

• National Piano Competition ‘Claude Kahn :’ 2nd place
• Regional Finalist for Lewis Caroll Mathematic Competition
• Valedictorian of Music School of Cagnes-Sur-Mer, graduated from the music theory class


1st place District UIL physics and Biology, 2nd place chemistry (1st place science team)
4th place UIL science regionals
2nd place District UIL math, 1st place team
American Chemical Society scholarship examination 1st place
AIME qualifier (score of 5 on AIME)


Academic Information

• SAT score 2260 (780 math, 740 critical reading, 740 writing), 800 SAT II Bio

UW GPA around 4.0, but class rank around top 20% (sucks, i know)

AP scores (all 5’s): Bio, APUSH, English language, Stats, French literature, french language (I’m french, haha :)=>thus AP scholar award!!

Non-native english speaker, recent immigrant.

My foreign transcript got messed up which explains my class rank. I’m taking the hardest schedule I am ALLOWED to take…

Extracurriculars

• Model United Nations (9th grade)
• School Choir piano player (9th grade)

Mentoring program at school (12) =>leadership team
Captain science team (12)

May start some tutoring at school…
Starting to volunteer at hospital (hopefully reach 60 hrs by application time)

Work Experience

• Pharmacy internship (2005, total 49 hours)
• Shadowed in the doctor office (2007, total 48 hours)

Summer internship through Welch Summer Program (worked on biochemistry). 5 weeks. Planning to submit research to Siemens and Intel this fall.

Question 1: what BA/MD am I most eligible to go (which ones are reasonable dreams)?

Question 2: I’ve done my own search, and I wondered how likely I am to get in the following (BS/DO) programs:

Gannon University in Erie, PA agreement with PCOM
Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL agreement with NSU-COM
Utica College in New York with agreement with LECOM


Thanks so much for reading!! I’m eagerly awaiting your advice/assessment!! :)
