Hello all. I have gone through college tours and really find Baylor, Rice, and UNC to be great campuses. I have really wanted to be a pre-med student, but after learning of the B.S./M.D. programs a while back, I have thought about applying for them. I understand that there are only six spots open in each program making it extremely competitive, but I still want to try. I basically want to see if anyone is familiar enough with these types of programs (and these two in particular) to be able to chance me and tell me what I need in order to bring a stellar application to the table. I understand that it is mostly a crapshoot, but I still want to try. Here are my scores, ECs, and other information:
