<p>Let's say that you were a pre-med at a school that did not offer a BS/MD and that you attended after being rejected from a BS/MD program (or perhaps more than one BS/MD) and that you put your act together as a pre-med, prepping for the MCAT, getting the right ECs (both qualitatively and quantitatively) for your dream med schools, as well as a respectable GPA. </p>
<p>The thing is, on your list of dream med schools, there's a school from which you were rejected when you applied for a BS/MD program. Is it a good idea to apply to that med school again?</p>
<p>I doubt that any medical school will hold onto the application of a BS/MD applicant for 4 years. So it’s unlikely the school will whip out your old app and say–“Hey we’ve already rejected Susie once, let’s reject her again…”</p>
<p>I don’t even think it’s the same adcomm for both programs. </p>
<p>(I know at D2’s undergrad, the undergrad adcomm selects students admitted to the BS/MD program, not the med school adcomm.)</p>
<p>I, myself, am not a pre-med in any shape or form, no more that I applied to a BS/MD, or a 0-6 PharmD for that matter. If I wanted to attend med school, or to become a pharmacist, I wouldn’t be doing a physics-mathematics dual major; I would have applied to a 0-5 MD or a 0-4 PharmD (that’s how these programs are called where I am studying; my current school offers both).</p>
<p>Only my mother’s friend has a D that did a BS in chemistry, graduated last month, and was rejected from both a BS/MD and a 0-6 PharmD, now applying for med school.</p>
<p>However, my school has the med school admissions committee manage all applications for med school, be it for the 0-5 or from applicants that did some college coursework.</p>
<p>Different adcom at most schools. Too long of a time gap. No one is going to remember who you were.
I interviewed at but was rejected at rice/baylor. Got into baylor 3.5 years later</p>
<p>A med school application uses college and post-college academics and activities, while a BS/MD app is submitted as a sr in HS, two completely different animals.</p>
<p>even if it is the same people, i highly doubt they factor in their decision of you as a 17 yr old high school student when evaluating you as a 21yr old college student.</p>
<p>1 data point: I applied to the BS/MD program at my school. I did not get it, but opted to go there for undergrad anyway (ended up with a BS). I applied there for med school and was accepted pretty early, which (apparently) means that I was one of their more highly desired applicants. The same person is the admissions director for the BS/MD program and the med school. She has never once mentioned my application for BS/MD, and we’ve talked about my candidacy for med school many times.</p>
<p>My D. is currently at Med. School where she was rejected pre-interview from bs/md. D. was accepted there in UG with the huge Merit award and coach of potential varsity wanted her on his team, but she choose to attend another UG where she was accepted to bs/md and was offered full tuition Merit award. She was the only one in her bs/md who has applied out and she ended up at Med. School outside of her bs/md.</p>
<p>What applies to BS/MDs in that thread may very well apply to 0-6 PharmDs or BS/DMDs…</p>
<p>I should get the email address for the D of my mother’s friend momentarily so I will email her that she was rejected from X school for a 0-6 PharmD or BS/MD will not prevent her from getting into that PharmD or med school…</p>
