<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I just wanted to know what you think about the combined programs in which you can get Masters in 5yrs? Does it look less competitive?</p>
<p>Oh, I don't know, I think it would depend on the program. MIT runs several combined 5-year bachelors/master's programs. I think that MIT looks fairly competitive, don't you? Harvard has a number of combined 5-year bachelor's/master's programs, and I think that Harvard looks fairly competitive.</p>
<p>I mean how does that look later on when applying to med school, dental...</p>
<p>well, thanxs for your input sakky. atleast someone posted</p>
<p>Well, as long as you do well in the master's degree portion, I can't see that they wouldn't look at it as anything other than a plus.</p>
<p>well, i hope so. but, actually the track that you have to follow is pretty rigorous. i wonder if they take that in account.</p>
<p>thanxs for posting...</p>
<p>I wouldn't do an MA just for the graduate school implications. Do it because you think you'd enjoy it. Otherwise, you will hate every minute of it, because it's a lot of work.</p>
<p>Also, what field would you do it in?</p>
<p>its going to be in biochem and chem. Well, i definitely have a strong passion for these subjects and that is the main reason why i'm going for it. but, at ht
the same time i hope it helps me a bit more in med, dent schools...</p>

<p>Don't do it to get into professional schools, do it because you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, it's not worth your time.</p>
