[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These combined programs are EXTREMELY competitive. Sorry to say she won't have a shot with that stat. [/quote]

OP here.  Yes, I realized that her grade is low for these programs but I heard on NPR many years ago about NY medical school for non-traditional path students:  https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/02/27/173079246/new-york-medical-school-eases-nontraditional-path-for-admissions

I would hope the BS/MD program value students with artistic skills to at least consider them for those slots.[/quote]

Actually no OP. They should not consider these kinds of extracurricular activities—unless they were on top of acceptable academics.

If your daughter wants to go to med school, she should be undertaking AP bio, AP chem, and AP physics assuming a school offers them, in order to indicate that  she is taking the most rigorous path possible in science and also to help make sure she gets over a 3.0 GPA in all science courses in college. She has to maintain that in order to stay in a BS/MD program, and to get into med school from a regular BS program.She also need to start spending time shadowing and volunteering.[/quote]
