Where are you now? If I remember it correctly you opted out of combined med programs. So what are you doing and where? Just curious…:)</p>
<p>@tamtiger I’m in the Life Sciences and Management dual-degree program at Penn and I love it. Back in the day my choice came down to this program and a 7yr like Boston or Miami. I decided that if I was going in to medicine I would do a program, and if I was going in to something else I would choose Penn. I decided that I probably wasn’t passionate enough about medicine to lock myself in. I’ll probably be doing something in finance now, funny enough. My view was that as a physician you only have the power to help a few, and as a businessman you have the power to help millions. To that end I hope to eventually do something in the healthcare/pharma space which is not what I envisioned just a couple years ago. It goes to show how things play out in way you can never predict (I thought 90% chance I’d end up in med program). As most people will say about where they’re going, I have absolutely no regrets and it was an extremely easy choice to come here, probably because of my lack of passion for medicine. I continue to support med programs because for a certain type of student, they’re great. It takes the stress and annoyances out of the way for people who really want medicine. At the same time, sometimes the talents of a few people are wasted when they lock themselves in to a field like medicine where their skills aren’t best aligned. My overall view is that a student , when deciding where to go, should maximize their potential. If it means choosing between normal (definite) pre-med and med program I think med program wins because in the end the outcomes will be very similar with not many benefits coming from going to an elite undergrad. If a student goes to normal undergrad knowing there’s a reasonable chance they’ll switch from pre-med in to something more fulfilling for them vs med program, clearly the normal undergrad wins. I believe a student should go to the place where they think they’ll be able to reach their potential; the worst feeling is turning down an ivy for a sub-par undergrad school for 3 yrs and regretting it every year because you feel limited/unchallenged and like you deserve more. I’m not sure about your situation, but thanks with checking in–if you’re a prospective applicant to a med program or Penn, good luck and I’d be happy to help you.</p>
<p>breaker746, what a great update . . . and wonderful perspective!</p>

<p>" the worst feeling is turning down an ivy for a sub-par undergrad school for 3 yrs and regretting it every year because you feel limited/unchallenged and like you deserve more."
-Interesting prospective of a person who did NOT go to “sub-par undergrad school” but despite of this fact has a very strong opinion of it…it would be valuable to know where this opinion cam from if personal experience is zero.</p>
<p>The ones that I think are top ranked (based on the ranking of the med school):</p>
<ul>
<li>Rice</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Baylor</li>
<li>Case Western</li>
<li>UCSD</li>
</ul>
<p>My D is in her senior year UG in an eight year program. She loves the group of them working together and truly looking out for each other. Since they accepted all her AP’s she is writing a thesis and only taking 2 course so there is no pressure and no MCAT.</p>
<p>She got into a couple of lower ivies and a free ride at a state school that she turned down. The only " what if" was Yale where she was deferred. It is such an amazing place she would have likely chosen it. The residential colleges are a city block with a courtyard garden inside. They get such outstanding speakers. The money flows for Broadway shows, student activities since they have the second highest endowment in the nation. ( The school with the largest was having students complain about the poor food.)</p>
<p>The tremendous need aid Yale gives is extended to real middle class families. The recent purchase of that pharm. company campus to include all the equipment which effectively doubled their campus size and research facilities. It is a wonderful place but because of legacies, athletes, donors and others the real acceptance rate is half of what is published so it is tough for the "little people " who are unhooked.</p>
<p>As far as being unchallenged in a lesser school, they all teach material you will need to help you pass the MCAT which is no easy test. Most make you take the American Chemical society final for Organic chemistry which is very challenging. They also offer honors courses for most programs as well.</p>
<p>It is in the schools’ interests to pick the best and the brightest since it reflects on the schools at the medical school. I think these programs are more egalitarian since legacies, athletes and donors’ children are not real a factor, only your grades, scores and true desire to commit to medicine as demonstrated in your interview.</p>
<p>…“At the same time, sometimes the talents of a few people are wasted when they lock themselves in to a field like medicine where their skills aren’t best aligned”…</p>
<p>Exactly. Well said. I am glad you are mature enough to take the time to think and then to make the decision that you are comfortable with… Kudos.</p>
<p>For some reason, I have not been getting email alerts, so I missed your reply.</p>
<p>I hope others who are thinking about combined med program, read this reply and then make an informed decision about combined med programs…</p>
<p>^Many combined programs allow different majors (including non-science, non-Bio). Combined program should not leave one without any choices. There were people in very competitive consrvatory of Music in D’s combined program who successfully matriculated to the Med. School in the program (MCAT required). there were others, like Latin major, Engineers (they require to stay 5 years in UG). There is no reason to NOT pursue other goals, my D. had 2 minors - one was Music. Why? - Why not if she wanted?</p>
