Looking for some advise. My kid got accepted to some of the prestigious bs/md programs and also waiting for the decisions from the IVYs. Accepted colleges are pushing us to commit to their program ASAP. Ivy acceptances are going to come out only on April 1st. My kid thinks that interviews with the Ivys went very well and there is good chance of getting accepted into these Ivys.
As we all know acceptance rate for these BS/MD programs are around 2% which way less than acceptance rate for ivys(5-7%). My kid wants to be a cardiologist/researcher and has spent last three summers doing cancer related research. So, based on the future aspirations, I am leaning towards BS/MD program. My kid is torn between the program and the Ivys. I would like to ask the group how would they handle this situation. End of the day, it is our kid’s decision. I thought this is a nice topic for discussion. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Which programs? Depends on the programs.
@mdbs2016 Which Ivies were they accepted to? Which BS/MD programs?
