Posting for my daughter
She is currently a junior in high school. I want to know what are her BS/MD chances. Thanks.

Her situation is unique in a way because she goes to an independent small school, which doesn’t offer AP courses. Also because of COVID she only took the ACT once and didn’t have a chance to retake it yet.

Here are some stats:

Female
Indian
GPA: 3.95 Unweighted (no weighted GPA)
no class rank but likely near the top

ACT: 32 (but will retake, hasn’t been able to because of COVID)

Like I said, she doesn’t have AP Courses at her school but as the equivalent, she would have taken: AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP World History, AP French, AP Calculus, AP US History and other challenging classes like anatomy and physiology, and biotechnology

She only took/ is taking the tests for chemistry and world history as most people do not sit for these exams at her school.

Please let me know if you think she has a chance in any of the programs/ which ones, even if they are less competitive ones. I hope it won’t be used against her that her school does not offer Ap classes but she has taken as rigorous courses as she could. thanks.

The short answer is no one can really predict one’s chances for bsmd. It is a crapshoot.
You D should improve her ACT to at least 34-35 range. Some programs need two SAT II scores but this year is a special one. Please apply widely and do not have great expectations for a large number of interviews. All you need is ONE acceptances.
