<p>There are various lists available of BA/BS/MD Accelerated Degree programs. I expect that you’ve looked at these lists and reviewed the colleges that offer such programs. If not,do a web search. You’ll also find previous College Confidential discussions of this topic.</p>

<p>Generally my impression, assuming that you are not expecting financial aid, is that your stats are significantly lower than most accepted candidates into such programs, this even at lower tier universities that offer it. See for example <a href=“BA/BS+MD Early Assurance Program”>http://www.drexel.edu/undergrad/apply/freshmen-instructions/accelerated/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You will really need 1500 on CR+M to be viable for BS/MD accelerated programs.</p>

<p>Your stats are not close to being competitive for BS/MD programs. Accepted students have very high stats…near 4.0/4.0 and SAT/ACT scores that are in the 99th percentile. 2200/33+</p>

<p>The reason very high stats are needed is because these schools are trusting that these high stats students would have made it thru the premed years and the med school app process if they had done it in the traditional way. Your stats, while ok, do not suggest that you would make it thru the premed years. </p>

<p>If you want to still try the premed route, choose a good school and do your best. Do not make things worse by adding double majors or anything extra. Choose a major that you will be strong in and complete the premed prereqs. </p>

<p>What state are you in?</p>

<p>How much will your parents pay for undergrad? </p>

<p>Those answers will likely determine where you should apply and can afford to attend.</p>

<p>Home state? What you can afford? Region of the US you are interested in?? Need some more information for recommendations. I agree with @mom2collegekids‌: you have to have Super high stats for the BS/MD programs.</p>
