<p>yes, bu has an excellent pre-med program. its difficult and challenging but totally worth it. i got accepted early to their med school, so i decided that i wanna stay there for 8 yrs, which means i might be a bit biased, but from my experiences, the pre-med program is awesome</p>

<p>i think u have a great shot of acceptance, i dont see anything that would bring your chances down</p>

<p>and btw, colleges dont care about your ap scores when it comes to admission, those scores are only for your benefit.</p>

<p>is the BU medical program well known? how does it compare to other school's medical programs, such as USC?</p>

<p>BU is one of the best schools for bio.</p>

5

<p>what is the honors college anyway?
is it something you are part of, like an honors program?
so that 8 year program ensures you a place in med school, right?
is it extremely competitive?</p>

<p>well, i cant even apply to that program since i need a 4.0 gpa average. bummers. is this pretty much a prerequisite of this kind of BS.MD programs, because i know that even UCSD has that requirement.</p>

<p>the honors college is basically just taking the same courses as you normally would but at the honors level. some honors classes are better than others.</p>

<p>the 8 yr program does guarantee u a spot in the med school as long as u maintain a 3.2 and get a 28 on the mcats.</p>
