<p>We don't have a BA/MD program. To my knowledge, there isn't a BA/MD program in North Carolina.</p>
<p>I've been very happy with the pre-med program here. There isn't a pre-med major, but for people who are pre-med, there are lots of resources available. I've heard that a student from Wake undergrad does have more chance of getting into Wake Med. School, but they always say that the only place it comes into play is if there are two students who are more-or-less tied with each other. In that scenario, we're told that the student from Wake is most likely to get the spot.</p>
<p>When you ask about how the school ranks to Duke or Chapel Hill, I assume that you're talking about the undergrad school. I've loved it here, and I think that most people really do. Carolina is a great school, but it's huge, and I really like going to a small school where my teachers can actually get to know me. Compared to Duke, for me there's no real reason that I didn't go to Duke other than that, when I was on campus, I just didn't like it all that much.</p>
<p>Wherever you go to college is going to be a personal choice. You shouldn't choose a school based on who has the best medical school or even who has a medical school. The bottom line is that if you do well enough at almost any four-year college and on your MCATs, you can get into medical school.</p>
<p>East Carolina has a BA/MD program. Their school is geared towards primary care physicians. My son chose Wake over Chapel Hill due to the smaller class sizes and no TA instruction (except in labs). My D.-in-law graduated from Chapel Hill and spoke often of huge classes and many taught by TAs. If you want to know your profs, a smaller school makes that easier.</p>
<p>"Sophomore Year (really messed up):" ?!?! What's your definition of failure? Relax, man/girl/whathaveyou. Ginny knows all the med stuff, so she's probably on the money.</p>
