<p>How are my chances at these combined programs? Also, is there interviews at all of these? or just optional alumni ones like other undergrads? </p>
<p>One thing i have been really concerned about is if going the undergrad then reapplying to good med schools would be more beneficial? </p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>i kinda doubt going to their undergrad and then applyign out woudl be great but idk...usually the undergrads at these schools arent that great</p>
<p>and ur stats look mad nice man, extra currics look fine but i think u need more medical related stuff
yo comment on my post, no one seems to be posting much anymore</p>
<p>Thanks for replying
Yeah i know the undergrads at some of them aren't the best, and also the med schools aren't THE BEST. It seems like it's only when they are combined they have any value. I wonder if going undergrad somewhere else (say ivy?) then applying to a top notch med school would be better than the combination offered at ba/md's.</p>
<p>oh ya I forgot:</p>
<p>Volunteer at Hospital ER so far only 20hrs
Volunteer at Library 50hrs</p>
<p>haha man thats the same thing i was going thru for a while but now i figure that like a year is a really long time adn if by combined program u save a year u save a lot and also
usua;lly when ur a doc what u do is impoirtnat or wehre u did residency not really what med school u went to...and no one ever cares about what undergrad</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree, you need to show that you know what doctors do, more than from watching ER. Also, do you hold offices in any of those clubs? Have you won any awards? Most of these programs have an intial application and then if you are lucky you get invited to interview, and then they pick the people in the program from those they have interviewed.</p>
