What's something I can do as a current junior in high school to increase my chances of getting into a Radiology Program?
Answered

I currently have a 3.0 average overall and i've take 4 honors courses, 1 AP course, and I will be taking a total of 7 college level courses. And a 950 as my SAT score. I only have art club as an extracurricular. And I plan on joining more clubs next year but I need things like online courses or something that would just boost my application, especially in the medical field. (located in tristate area) NY. And I plan on going to the New York City College of Technology (city tech).

Definitely retake the SAT if you can. Your course load is pretty good difficulty wise but you need more ECs. When I put the school into the chancing system with my stats, I had a 97% with a 1230 SAT and my ECs but I only have 4 honors and 1 college class, so it's the SAT and ECs that will hold you back. With the courses you plan on doing, create or find an initiative that will show that you are willing to go the extra mile and create impact.

Hello there!

I think it is important to try retaking the SAT, but if that does not work out for you, you can always try the ACT.

I also believe you can reach around your school and look for opportunities with teachers and start building a network.

I would also start speaking with your college guidance at your school to see if your school offers anything medical related (HOSA, Research, etc.).

To easily boost you GPA I would take easy dual-enrollment classes through a local college to both help show your interest in the medical field and boost your GPA (Intro to Chemisty, Intro to Biology, Composition 101, and Health and Wellness are all easy GPA boosters that help show medical interest).

Kind regards
