<p>I have seen the "official" list of colleges that offer BS / MD programs in the United States, but have recently found out that there are other universities that also offer such programs. These universities did not appear on the list. I have checked with this university many many times and they have confirmed that they do in fact have bs / md program.</p>
<p>For that reason, I am asking the general public to list some of the universities with bs / md programs cause I really would like to know more universities with these somewhat "hidden" medical programs.</p>
<p>Also, I am definitely looking for a school with great research opportunities (undergraduate internships or independent research, as well as funding) and with a good science program overall.</p>
<p>Engineering is also something I am look into.</p>
<p>So if my readers could list any of the schools that fit under any one of these categories and LABEL them. it would be much appreciated. it would also be very helpful to my readers and therefore the general public. Thank you

<p>There’s no complete list out there of all the BS/MD programs. If you post the list people can probably look at it and tell you which ones aren’t included, which would work better because a program that is “hidden” to one person may be considered well known by another.</p>
<p>There two types of bs/md programs. One that you apply as a senior in high school and one that you apply while in college. The list you posted contains both types. Which are you interested?</p>
<p>first of all, the wustl program only accepts like 5 people a year. so the getting in is already pretty tough. Second of all, if u get in, u need to maintain a 3.8 GPA and a 36 on the MCAT. lolz, thats pretty tough. i would not consider this a “BS/MD” program. Rather, this is a “if-u-dont-have-36 MCAT-we’re-gonna-kick-u-out” program.</p>
<p>im interested in the program for which you apply in the senior year of high school
applying during college is way too risky in my opinion. why go to the university not even knowing that you can get into their program right. </p>
<p>I mean the university should be great, wherever the program is, but i believe there are better colleges that will fit my style.</p>
<p>fianchetto, could you tell me whether or not the following colleges have medical programs that you can apply for in the senior year of high school?
or just link me to the information website either way</p>
<p>Brown University
Rice University
Tufts University
University of Southern California
Northwestern University
Washington University in Saint Louis</p>
<p>they all do. brown has its own program with its own med school. rice has one with baylor med. usc has its own. northwestern has its own. wustl has its own. </p>
<p>i think tufts does not have NOT a program you apply out of high school. you apply as a sophomore in college. since you dont have your BS yet, its still technically called a bs/md program. the other ones above, however, are all ones that you apply to in high school.</p>
<p>Oh come on, those schools obviously have BS/MD programs. How much confirmation are you looking for? You can easily find out about their programs from the school websites and CC, don’t be lazy and ask other people to link to information for you when you can google them yourself.</p>
<p>Anyone who comes on here asking if Northwestern has a BS/MD program when there’s a 50-page thread on it right in the same forum is a noob.</p>
<p>You are calling me a noob on college confidential?
How immature can you be?
and who are you to come to my thread and insult me?
If you don’t like my thread then just leave. </p>
<p>I wanted to make sure that the colleges offered admissions into the program to prospective freshman. People do not always specify whether or not colleges offer this medical program to incoming freshman. In fact, some colleges only offer these medical programs to Sophomores in college. </p>
<p>Also, I ask on CC to obtain not only the link, but any additional information that my viewers may know about the specific program that they link to me, which I have effectively accomplished.</p>
<p>So please. don’t bother me with your pestilent comments about how “lazy” I am. Everything I do has a purpose. You are not helping me, yourself, or any of the people that are actually interested in the program.</p>
<p>And what is wrong with expressing an opinion? </p>
<p>As a rule of thumb, programs that offer admission to sophomores in college are usually called Early Assurance Programs. Programs directly from high school are BS/MD programs. Just keep that in mind although there may be occasional overlap of the terms. </p>
<p>Schools specify VERY clearly on their websites on when their applicants should apply, whether as hs seniors or college sophomores. </p>
<p>I think you’re the immature one. It sounds as if you’re asking “Does this school have a BS/MD program? Are you sure? Are you sure? I checked with the university many many times, but can you confirm there is a program?”</p>
<p>Blizzardpenguin–please take a chill pill. This isn’t “your” thread, it’s a public post and you’re asking other people for help. Maybe being a little more polite would help.</p>
<p>yeahh i overreacted
but still do you have to come up here and call me a “noob”?
really?</p>
<p>thanks to all the people who helped me out, ive just been really busy lately and i thought this would be a perfect way to still learn more about colleges</p>
<p>turned out i was right.</p>
<p>to lesmislove
just cause ones asking for help doesnt mean they can just completely ignore an insult
theres no reason to be humble to a person that insults you on a public post
understand what im saying?</p>
<p>true, nonetheless it is time consuming.
i have midterms and have been studying for them
so i really didnt have a lot of time to get on google and just research
plus my initial question was for other people to tell me about med programs</p>
<p>fortunately they did, and all i had to do was get on and read. thanks once again :P</p>
<p>Typing a term into google to get to a program website= 10 seconds
Posting on a forum and waiting for a good response= probably 10 minutes or more</p>
<p>It took one day for another user to give you the links to various program websites. A person can find all of those links on google in less than five minutes. Which one sounds more time consuming?</p>
<p>Blizzard, when you’re a first year medical student and a patient refuses to talk to you because you’re just a dumb first year medical student are you going to stop being humble and rip them a new one?</p>
<p>Humility is not something to be turned off just because people aren’t nice all the time.</p>
<p>i dont understand why you guys consistently come on to this thread and criticize me
im sorry if i insulted any of you
im sorry if i seem to represent the epitome of laziness
but honestly its been done. people have responded. i have all the information i need and now am expanding upon this built foundation over the winter break</p>
<p>so please stop criticizing me. as for the comment by mmmcdowe. i agree with you. i do see that as fault. humility shouldnt be “turned off.”</p>
<p>but why did you have to add “dumb” or “rip them a new one”? the last sentence was sufficient.</p>
<p>I wasn’t really trying to insult you. I just wanted to point out what appears to be a lack of common sense on your part. Whatever, I don’t want to keep dragging this on any longer so I’ll just end it here.</p>
