Junior Year Schedule for BSMD/Duke

Title is self explanatory, I want to be a pre-med student at either a BS/MD(Penn State, Rutgers, Brown and GW) or Duke(one of my favorite schools). Should I change anything in order to get into the school? For context I've taken 1 AP(Gov, prob got a 5 maybe a 4) and 1 DE(Computer Concepts and Applications with an A) w/ a 4.0uw and 4.71w and a good amount of medical and nonmedical ECs including independent research, hospital volunteering, working at a pediatrician's office and leadership in student government and Black Student Union.

  • AP Psychology
  • AP Physics C Mechanics
  • AP Calculus AB
  • Foundations of Healthcare Honors(part of a 2 year healthcare academy where you learn the basics of anatomy and healthcare stuff first year and get to get a certification and train senior year, I will be training as either an EMT or a CNA)
  • Intern/Mentor GT(class where you partake in your own independent research of any topic of your choosing and your teacher pairs you up with a mentor in the field to help guide your research and you also get a yearlong internship with them)
  • Health 2 + Theatre
  • Dual Enrollment Classes:
    • College Composition(equivalent to AP Lang)
    • Modern World History(equivalent to Modern World AP)
    • Intermediate Spanish II(equivalent to Spanish Lang AP)
    • Intro to Public Health

Rising Junior - Summer Plans

I’m a rising junior, is this summer plan competitive for BSMD programs?

  • Hospital Volunteer: once a week for 4 hours, helping with delivering meals, setting up beds/rooms, helping nurses run labs, transporting and discharging patients via wheelchair
  • Pediatrician office volunteer: working the front desk, filling out paperwork for sports forms, taking calls and answering emails, doing arts and crafts for the board, take vitals
  • Getting a head start on learning AP materials since I’m taking some pretty hard ones next year(Physics C Mechanics, Calculus AB and Psychology) as well as SAT prep(got a 1420 first try and taking again June)
  • (assuming I make the team) 1 week band camp for my schools dance team where we learn the routines and set it on the field with color guard and band
