I have been looking everywhere for a list that specifies BSMD programs where you are allowed to “apply-out” without loosing your spot in the med school that’s associated with the program. So far, I’ve only found Rice/Baylor and FAU allow this option. I’m assuming that everyone knows what “apply-out” means when it comes to these programs. For those who do not, say I go to the FAU BSMD program. There, I am allowed to apply to multiple MD programs after undergrad, but I will not loose my place at FAU med school, so if I get into a Med school like Harvard I can go, but if I do not get into any med schools, I still have my place at FAU med school. The process of applying to other med schools while having a conditional acceptance through a BSMD program is called “applying out”.
I’m thinking this thread can serve as a place where future BSMD applicants can learn which programs would allow them to apply to other med schools, and which ones do not.
Please reply with all the BSMD/BAMD programs you know of, and their rules regarding “applying out”.
