<p>How reputable is Penn State's 6 year program in comparison to Brown's PLME, Northwestern, Rice, Baylor, and other top programs? </p>
<p>And on a side note, is it a stressful program because it is two years shorter than the average undergrad + med school?</p>
<p>From what I understand in the medical community, programs that accelerate the process of college and medical school at all are not necessarily the most reputable. You can take that for whatever you think it's worth.</p>
<p>yea i would imagine its stressful. you have a pretty crammed schedule and you have to do two summers (you can skip the second one if you have credits). plus its like $60k per year. </p>
<p>i dont think i would be that bad, though. i mean all you gotta do is study...aint gotta do crappy ECs or anything. jefferson isnt bad either.</p>
<p>penn states program is probably a step below all the programs you mentioned. a lot easier to get into too.</p>
<p>the medical school isnt rushed, so the reputation is fine. no one really cares about undergrad...you might miss out on the college life though from being so rushed. you can opt for 3 years undergrad if you want as well. hell theyll probably let you do 4 if you really want to.</p>
