<p>You have great stats and ECs.
However, since these program are so selective, apply to a wide range.
I do not know your state. Some state have more bs/md programs, including several at state publics.
With your great stats sky is a limit. ON a caution side, as I said, apply to wide range.<br>
Also, do not be discouraged in case you do not accomplish your goal (I am saying it only because of the great selectivity of these programs). As my own D. discovered later, it is much easier to get into repsective Medical Schools than the bs/md programs that include them. She had specific experience with PPSP (Case) and. sorry forgot the name for the bs/md at Northwetern. D. was accepted “regualar route” at both Medical schools while she was rejected pre-interview from PPSP and did not even apply to bs/md at NW. Generally speaking these 2 accept the same type of students. So, if you a replanning to apply to one, it make sense to apply to another. The reason D. had both experiences with ths bs/md and Regular out was because she was in bs/md at our state public but then applied out while retaining her spot in the program.<br>
Best wishes, you deserve the best!</p>

<p>Thank you very much MiamiDAP. I am from MI. Yes I am planning to apply both. Will ED increase my chances at Northwestern</p>

<p>As I mentioned, D. did not apply to bs/md at Northwestern.<br>
She was accepted later to Northwestern Med. School while applying Regualr Route. Sorry cannot help you with this. </p>

<p>do you have BS/MD schools in your state? If so, your best chances are likely there. </p>

<p>You have very good stats, but BS/MD programs are super competitive…like applying to ivies. </p>

<p>I think you’d have the best chance at an instate program because they would be confident that you have what it takes to make it all the way thru.</p>

<p>Thank you @ mom2collegekids. MI state do have one program ‘MedStart’ at Wayne State wiith full ride. As you mentioned it is highly competitive. </p>

<p>Is there any link or post where colleges that offer direct Med programs? </p>

<p>Michigan State also has a BS/MD program I believe.</p>
