<p>can you guys rank the ba/md programs like which is number 1 or number 2...</p>
<p>By strength of Medical School and national availability
1.HPME-Northwestern
2.PPSP-Case Western
3.Boston University
4.PLME-Brown University
6.REMS-University of Rochester
7.HPM-Miami
9.Pennstate/Jefferson
10.George Washington</p>
<p>I forgot Rice/Baylor at the top</p>
<p>Any such ranking is bound to be completely subjective, as all programs are different and most can't be compared to one another.</p>
<p>its okay, it still gives a good idea:
re-post of the list :
1.Rice/Baylor
2.HPME-Northwestern
3.PPSP-Case Western
4.Boston University
5.PLME-Brown University
6.REMS-University of Rochester
7.HPM-Miami
8.Pennstate/Jefferson
9.George Washington</p>
<p>hey u guys forgot about usc ba/md? where would u put it?</p>
<p>Would you really place BU above Brown?</p>
<p>I agree, there's no way to accurately rank the top combined degree programs in terms of what the "best" ones are. But, I think a way you can rank them in terms of selectivity, which gives an idea as to how hard they are to get into.</p>

<p>That's pretty much how I have it laid out in my head but obviously even these rankings may differ from person to person. I didn't include any that are restricted to in-state applicants or any that require being a sophomore to apply. Still, I may have forgotten some.</p>
<p>the PLME is actually the most selective by numbers
rice/baylor is the most selective by odds ratio because of the small number of spots
all are actually very competitive though and equally (if not more in most cases) competitive as getting into a "top five college"</p>
<p>I think ranking is quite unnecessary as there are so many criteria that one might look at. However, at the end of the day, it all boils down to the residency hospital you end up in after med school, which depends on your USMLE scores. There are rumors going around that going to Northwestern or Brown will help you a lot in your medical career - that is not the case! Of the medical school noted, only Baylor would seem noteworthy but nothing exceptional. Although Northwestern ranks high, it is not that amazing. Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford and Washington University are distinguished, but from there it does not really matter. I have a friend you just graduated from Yale medical school - she is the one providing with this information (I don't think I will contest her).</p>
