Hey guys
I’m currently a rising high school senior and am very interested in applying to a few accelerated premed programs (though not the crazy ones like in Brown). I just wanted to know what my chances are and how I could improve?
GPA - 3.95
Rank - Top 5-10%
SAT - 2250 Reading and Math (800 Math, 660 Reading, 790 Writing) - Will take it again and get at least 700 Reading guaranteed (I took the SAT last March and I’ve significantly improved this summer)
SAT II - Physics 760, US History 750, Math (1) 730, Biology (M) 740 --> planning on taking Math 2
AP’s - World History (4), Biology (4), US History (5), Physics B (5), Psychics C Mechanics (4).
During Senior year I’ll take AP Calc (AB and BC), AP Stats, and AP Lit

Extra Curriculars:
In-School -
ModelUN,
Mock Trial,
Forensics,
Model Congress,
SGA,
Science Olympiad,
and some sports activities
(in all of these activities I’ll have a leadership positions starting senior year)
I’m also starting a combined Debate and Public Speaking Club as soon as the school year starts

Outside of School -
Volunteer at 2 hospitals, each with 100+ hours,
Shadow 2 doctors in their private practices, one’s a cardiologist and the other a pediatrician (each of them are willing to give a good rec letter)
Shadow a Lab diagnostician
Member of the Youth Committee in my local community center (this committee serves over 1000 underprivileged youth a year with various events and programs), with 250+ hours
Also a teacher at the weekend school for my local community center (I teach children language and religion studies)
Starting an EMT course this fall, probably wont be state certified until January
I also did a 6 week summer program at Carnegie Mellon University after receiving the William Elliot Scholarship (covered around 10k$ in costs)

Thanks
