BS/MD and BS/DO 7-8 year accelerated program suggestions??

<p>Hi guys so i'm really interested in applying to BS/MD and BS/DO 7-8 year accelerated programs. i've been through alot of the threads on college confidential regarding these but i was wondering if anyone had an actual list of all the ones that are available??</p>

<p>i honestly don't care whether one is more prestigious/competitive than the other (aka brown, BU, etc.), i just want to get into one sooo badly :(</p>

<p>so yea if anyone could mention some (or all) of these programs available i would honestly be so grateful :)</p>

<p>p.s. any tips on how to make your application stand out to these programs would also be a HUGEE bonus</p>

<p>p.p.s. i happen to have my eyes set on drexel's accelerated program (seem's the closest in proximity to me too) so any tips on how to stand out for that program would be especially appreciated</p>

<p>THANKS IN ADVANCE!!</p>

<p>hope i'm not asking for too much lol</p>

<p>sorry, your numbers are not even close to being competitive for a BA/MD program, which require 34/2200+, unless you are a hooked candidate. (Dunno anything about the combined DO programs.)</p>

<p>wait…howd you even find out what my numbers were lol
and that’s not my concern 'cause i’m taking it again in june, i just wanted to know about the possibilities/any tips and advice</p>

<p>^ Pretty simple to search your prior posts. As just posted this week by you:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How about taking your high school standardized testing more seriously? Those combined programs are for top-notch high school students who perform reliably well at an early age. Many students will bloom a little later and need strong college credentials for medical school admissions. </p>

<p>I know of an outstanding and regionally admired D.O. who had an unimpressive high school career gaining him admission to a third tier (or lower) college. He did not do well enough there to even consider M.D. medical schools and yet he is now revered by his M.D. colleagues. He would be quick to say he hit his stride a little later than most. Any school would be proud to claim him as an alum but he would never have gained admission to a combined program out of high school.</p>

<p>Unless you are totaling misjudging your test taking aptitude (and probably not based on your scores to date), you are not going to be competitive for a combined medical program right now.</p>

<p>two days ago you posted:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>A 31/2000 is not worth the app fee for a combined program.</p>

<p>My friend’s S, 4 years ago, had much higher stat than yours, at least 34/2250. Applied to ALL BS/MD programs, they spent the Whole Sr. year flying around the country EVERY Weekend to on campus interviews. He was admitted to NONE. He had to settle with UCB. Now he is in MD school.</p>

<p>or, another way to look at it: one essentially needs Ivy-level stats for admission to most combined MD programs.</p>

<p>A relative had 1490 SAT (reading and math) and was valedictorian of a highly acclaimed HS, and did not get into ANY of the programs. Getting a spot is very competetive, even for tippy-top kids. Apply to all you can find, then hope you get into 1.</p>

<p>not to seem rude or anything (i honestly respect all your comments, it means a lot) but i’m just asking about the programs themselves, NOT about my chances of get into one. i already understand how competitive they are and quite honestly my stats to date are not going to be the stats i submit to these programs. i got a 31 on my ACT by studying only the week before and not having done any prep before hand, so with luck and more prep i’m sure i can reach at least a 34. as for everything else, all i can do is hope. i know there’s a chance i won’t get into any of them, but that’s not stopping me from trying!! so if anyone could answer my former question(s) that would be great…lol</p>

<p>sorry guys i’m just tired of people saying i can’t do something before i even try</p>

<p>Well ‘dreambig0x’…I personally think you shouldn’t listen to the negative comments. And your post clearly says “BS/MD and BS/DO 7-8 year accelerated program suggestions??”. Correct me if I’m mistaken, but the original poster did not ask to be put down or “chanced”. She simply asked for (and I quote) "BS/MD and BS/DO 7-8 year accelerated program suggestions “BS/MD and BS/DO 7-8 year accelerated program suggestions”. </p>

<p>Pretty simple to read.
s/o to ‘YaleGradandDad’</p>

<p>LOL @pd2013 thanks i appreciate that :smiley: good to know someone on this thread can read</p>

<p>My suggestion is to try programs in PR, SD, ND, Ok, TN as well, if they have one.</p>

<p>If you’re interested in rural medicine, this program might work:</p>

<p>[St</a>. Lawrence University: Admissions and Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.stlawu.edu/admis/rmed.html]St”>http://www.stlawu.edu/admis/rmed.html)</p>

<p>ahh they’d prob be less competitive cause of where they’re situated right?</p>

<p>and @curiousjane thank you!! i’ll def take it into consideration</p>

<p>Montclair State University in your own state perhaps…with UMDNJ.</p>

<p>Also found this from another post…it’s not comprehensive though.</p>

<p>Don’t let the other posters discourage you. You can get into a combined program with a 2000 SAT score (I did). Once you meet the admission requirements, your grades and SAT/ACT scores don’t matter anymore. Just make sure you have good extracurricular activities and practice your interview skills</p>

<p>omg @pathways that list was perfect thank you!!
and @sienabound congrats btw!! what program did you get into? and what made you stand out on your application? 'cause i honestly have nothing that makes me different from any of the other possible applicants</p>

<p>dreambig – Not sure entirely what you mean.</p>

<p>There are a number of programs that are nominally auto BS/MD admit programs, but when you read the fine print you find that in order to get into the MD part, you need a minimum GPA/MCAT score. For example, the St Lawrence Program referred to above requires a minimum 3.5 GPA overall, 3.5 GPA in the sciences and a 30 MCAT.</p>

<p>Are you interested in those?</p>
