Thank you for setting this up.

Is this the correct thread as I got links to 2 such threads?

The other one is in premed thread for regular applicants after college.

Hi, I have a question for the three AMC BS/MD programs (RPI, Union, Siena)–would you happen to know if they super score the SAT? Thank you in advance.

RPI and Union do superscore the SAT.
Not 100% sure about Siena - have sent them an email.

Thank you so much for the information!

Heard most Pitt-GAP students complete undergrad in 2 years. What do they do for the rest 2 years before med school starts. Does the school expect them to complete other degrees or be in research/ clinical. I am not asking generic in other bsmd but particularly GAP students. TIA

Do you happen to know the range of SAT scores for accepted students?

That doesn’t seem right…do you have a source?

Officially, they do not share, but most of my past students who have been accepted to these programs had superscores close to 1600 SAT/ 36 ACT.

Makes sense. Thank you for replying.
I have a student with excellent GPA and resume (many activities actually align with Siena emphasis), but sadly SAT is not up to that level (but definitely meets their cut off score requirements). Do you think applying to that program is a waste of time?

Apply - try your luck - you never know.

Thank you for your opinion. We will give it a good thought.
