Are any of the following ba-bs/md programs binding?

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs

In other words, if you are accepted, do you have to attend these schools? This is assuming I would be applying in the regular admissions cycle. (Some of their websites don’t provide details about binding. With BostonU having deadline date Nov. 15th, I would assume it is binding. Not sure though.)

SLU Medical Scholars Program
WashU Scholars Program in Medicine
Brown PMLE
BostonU
Rice/Baylor MSP
Case Western PPSP
NorthWestern HPME

@Renee2002

There is a whole subforum dedicated to multiple degree programs like BS/MD.

The folks posting there are either going through the process or have done so. You might find your answers there.

Here is a link…check out the titles of the threads. Actually, starting your own thread if there isn’t already one answering your question would be good.

P.S. this forum is in the medical school area which is in the Professional and grad school section of this forum. It’s not easy to find . Hope the link above is helpful to you.

For CWRU PPSP you can choose RD or ED:

Applying to the Pre-Professional Scholars Program
To apply to the Pre-Professional Scholars Program, select **Regular Decision or Early Decision I **as your preferred admission plan. Later in the application, you can indicate your interest in applying for PPSP.

If you apply Regular Decision and are not selected as a PPSP finalist, you can be considered under the Regular Decision admission plan.

If you apply as a PPSP candidate under Early Decision I, you commit to attending Case Western Reserve if admitted to the undergraduate program—regardless of whether you are selected as a finalist for PPSP. You must make this commitment before you would know about your status with PPSP.

So since BostonU only has their Nov 15 date- does that mean it’s like an ED only, where it is binding?

The BU program is not binding…it does not require an ED application. Make sure you do the accelerated programs essays that will be on the common app.

At any of the programs you are considering make sure the school is affordable. Run the net price calculators on each school’s site, here is BU’s: https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/bu
