University of Miami BS/MD

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs

<p>Hello hello...I was doing some searching through the forums and I couldn't find a whole lot of information about miami's bs/md. I am considering applying to it next year but would like to narrow down my college list. </p>

<p>The University of Miami isn't a really prestigious undergrad school: it's academics aren't that great and its endowment is pretty meager. The medical school isn't in the top 50 in research or primary care by US News standards. </p>

<p>Besides the guaranteed acceptance into med school, what are the advantages of this program? People on the forums always say that "the program is good"? What is that supposed to mean? Can you elaborate on what exactly "the program" is, and why it's better than the traditional route via a prestigious undergrad university and medical school?</p>

<p>If the only advantage of Miami's program is early assurance, I would rather go to a better undergrad school and then take my chances at a better medical school. But, if the so called "program" and its components are really that good, I will really consider applying.</p>

<p>the program is terrible and miami is a terrible city. this should give u a gist of the "program".</p>

<p>i visited miami in the summer and my wallet was <em>stolen</em> by the annoying pickppocketers in a supposedly "affluent" neighborhood which i think is pretty rundown</p>

<p>ok....um...pickpockets are everywhere. my wallet was stolen at my school (very private school, very affluent people)</p>

<p>also, does that have any bearing on the prog? a lot of folks think new haven is a crummy place, but no one thinks yale's education is crummy.</p>
