<p>I’m a senior trying to get into a combined BS/MD program and wonder what my chances are. </p>
<p>Sat I - 1450; 730v, 720m and second time, 750v, 700m.
Sat II Writing - 780
Sat II Chem - 750
Sat II Math IIC - 760
GPA - 3.75 </p>
<p>Internship - For the upcoming year, I will be participating in research at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. I will assist in the analysis of biomarkers for cancer. </p>
<p>Classes - I’m taking pretty much the hardest bio classes offered in
my school. I’ve taken so far Bioethics, Medical Microbiology, Cell
Biology, AP Bio, AP Chem, and AP Calc. I have also done research in Biology this year studying Stress Effects on Plants. I have always done very well in all these classes not getting a grade below an A-.</p>
<p>ECs -
CoFounded/Bassist of my band
Member of Superintendent’s Council - meets with the superintendent of schools once a month to discuss ways to improve the school.
Member of NHS
Member of National Latin Honor Society
Treasurer of Church Youth Fellowship
Varsity Spring Track</p>
<p>Volunteer - I’ve been volunteering at a doctor’s office for the past 3 years, working as a secretary, filling in patient forms and other things like that. Also constantly volunteering at other events like church visit to a seniors home, building houses in Habitat for Humanity, etc. </p>
<p>Work Experience - This year, I started working at the same office where I’ve been volunteering. </p>
<p>Would the fact that I’m a year younger than most people in my grade hurt my chances? I mean coming out of this program you’re a year younger than most people who take an 8 year route and so I would be two years younger.</p>
