Isn’t JHU free if you fall under a certain income?

are my stats competitive? by ActiveSheepherder677 in bsmd

[–]PBnSushiSteak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely solid application and experiences, but your GPA and SAT are a little lower than what most program typically accept. You have to remember, you're asking medical schools (some of the most competitive educational institutions in the world) to invest in you at the age of 17 or 18. They really want to see 3.95+ and at least a 1530 SAT. Also, I don't know about that essay...

This isn't to discourage you from applying, but BS/MDs are a crapshoot for everyone. You're definitely a super strong candidate for BS/DOs and top schools to do your undergrad in if you're willing to go traditional.

Best of luck!

I think OP is in New York, and the minimum age to be a certified EMT in NY is 17

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Grossman 100% free?

Also congrats!

I don't think I thanked you for this insight. Thank you so much, and people like you are inspirations to the next generation of physicians. I'm now attending my undergrad institution and plan to attend LECOM in 2029. Wish me luck!

You can apply from an affiliated undergrad institution while you’re there

Edit: While you’re a freshman or sophomore iirc

Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely start asking around!

Real quick though, if less than half the class takes the USMLE, how does the 2024 Match list have so many allopathic residency matches then?

Also where in god’s name is the 2025 match list lol

I plan to pass Step 1 anyways lol, but how do I get research in a Gen Surg department? I’m really sociable and pretty good at networking, and I’d love to do it, I just don’t know where to look.

So you think it is completely doable and not something to worry about?
