How many is too many when applying to BS/MD programs? (In terms of money, etc.)
What are your stats? If you are super competitive you can likely do less.Would 11 BS/MD programs be considered "enough" in that case? I'm willing to travel to China if an interview is there (for some odd reason).
-I have an essay that would be good for any BS/MD program I'm applying to. No, it's not a sob story about how one of my friends/family/girlfriend/etc. had terminal cancer and how I watched them die in my arms while in palliative care which "inspired" me to become a doctor at the tender age of five, but rather a realistic look at how a little childhood experience I had would lead me to wanting to become a doctor by the time I finished sophomore year.I think you should try to increase your GPA, get lots of medical e.c.s, and make sure you study hard for your SATS! I remember getting 1900-2100 range and ended up with a mere 1940.
In your case applying to 11 sounds good, but make sure you get as competitive as you can and have a compelling story.
