Breaking an 8-year med agreement?

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>This might be a silly question, but does anyone know what happens if for some reason after completing undergrad, a person accepted to an 8-year program decides to not become a physician....or to apply to a different med school? I suppose people who apply to those programs are really sure about their future, but I'm just speculating..</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible about these programs. Most of the 8-year websites don't discuss this issue.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Most BS/MD programs, when you decide to apply out, take away your guaranteed seat.</p>

<p>Some BS/DO program,however, let you keep the seat even if you try to apply out.</p>

<p>If you decide you don’t want to be a physician, then you just drop out, and obviously, your seat is forfeit.</p>

<p>And yea, I know a few people who applied out of BS/MD programs; even one guy who dropped out to be a Dentist.</p>
