Recommendations
-One of my AP teachers is a former UPenn student and she will give me a fabulous recommendation.
-My guidance counselor will give me a pretty good one, too.
-One of my science AP teachers will give me a really good letter of rec and she got accepted to UPenn but when to a sister Ivy.
-I have a teacher that has won several national awards that will definitely give me a "to die for" letter of rec.
Essay
-I have some really great stories about my experience in the rehabilitation/physical therapy gym that have made people cry and never forget. I'm sure I could utilize these experiences to write a very good college essay.
I am currently an incoming senior in HS and I really want to become a doctor. I know I have enough passion and determination, but I don't know if my grades and scores are good enough to get into these accelerated programs. I want to know if I could get into any 6 or 7 yr programs to become a doctor (Penn State U-Thomas Jefferson MC, Rutgers U-NJMS, U Albany, The College of New Jersey-NJMS, Brown U, DrewU-NJMS, Rutgers U-Rowan U, ). If you guys need any more information please let me know. Thank you so much!
