<p>Would anyone mind posting schools with bs/md where acceptance rate is RELATIVELY high?</p>
<p>once you get an interview, i know PSU and Drexel are like 50% admit, maybe more.</p>
<p>but I meant BEFORE interviews, lol anyone??</p>
<p>They are all difficult to get into. For Rochester REMS there were more than 1000apps. They interviewed ~50 and offered ~20-25. Its hard to know how many apps are received for many programs. It seems that the # of interview spots and program seats generally remain the same. Just more applications each year. Just apply and see what happens. Once you get an interview then you have ~50% chance of getting a spot. Its up to you to shine in the interview. Getting an interview IS an accomplishment.</p>
<p>For Drexel (2008): number of applications received: 1202,400 passed to med school, 120 interviewed, 65 accepted, 20 enrolled.
For Boston: 500 applications, 120 interviewed, 20-25 enroll.
For Miami: 200 applications, 100 interviewed, 36 accepted, 18 enrolled.
For New Jersey Medical School: 200 applications, 118 interviewed, 42 accepted.
Usually 1/3 are accepted out of the interviewed.</p>
<p>itmom, what schools are you referring to when you said miami and NJ college of medicine?</p>
<p>When we report ‘enrolled’ for other schools, we should use the same units of expression for all schools.</p>

<p>By the way, all these programs accept twice as many as the number enrolled. This is to counter the multiple acceptances these kids have. Nearly all kids in this group also have Ivy acceptances.</p>
<p>If I had to choose between Harvard and Miami, I’d definitely choose Miami…</p>
<p>Boston University - Boston College of Medicine
Drexel University/Lehigh/Villanova/etc - Drexel College of Medicine
University of Miami - Miller School of Medicine
TCNJ/NJIT/Rutgers-Newark/etc - UMNDJ (New Jersey Medical School)</p>
<p>Not all are very hard to get in. And it also depends on your state of residency. If you are up to getting accepted at Harvard, you definately can get into few bs/md programs.</p>
<p>^ Not necessarily true. You can get into harvard and major in arts(absolutely no interest in science)</p>
<p>dig it?</p>
<p>Med programs are looking for a much more specific type of interest (in medicine) then colleges/Ivys. You can be a great & successful applicant to top med programs & not do as well with colleges/Ivys.</p>
<p>Korean_dreamer,
You can major in anything you wish - even some combined bs/md programs will let you do so (in D’s program there are kids in selective Consevatory of Music, Latin majors and whatever). You just need to complete Med. School requirements. In regard to your original question, not all combined programs have stats on how many applied/interviewed. D’s program did not have this stats. Keep in mind also that some Publics cancelled their program so expect more competition next year. I know 3 Undergrads that have cancelled bs/md programs.</p>

<p>Check out the stats table in the answer to question Q.</p>
<p>Rutgers,TCNJ, and Stephens all have the SMEDS program but TCNJ sends out ~40-45 acceptance letters.</p>
<p>for nevada, </p>
<p>40 were interviewed. 5 were accepted</p>
<p>A really easy one to get into is SLU med. St. Louis University accepts about 170 people for their program. I wouldn’t say its a the best one around. I’d definitely rather go to UCLA or other such schools over that program.
otherwise, you can find the statistics on each programs website.</p>
