Would attending BU help my chances of getting into BU Med?

<p>Well, that's just one option (also U of Rochester and Rochester med, looking around for others), but in general, do med schools have a preference for undergrads that attend the corresponding undergrad school? </p>

<p>Just wondering.
Also, while I'm here and you chose to respond, I've seen countless threads on this, but if you were me, would you follow a premed program or major in something like biochem (though I also saw threads that say you don't NEED to major in bio, chem, or biochem [etc.]) I mean, I just need opinions... so many options to chose from, it's daunting =/</p>

<p>Not necessarily. But Brown and BU do have joint-programs. I believe the BU program lets you get your MD within 7 years.</p>

<p>As for majors, you can major in whatever you want. But in order to apply to med schools, you need to take chem, bio, organic chem, physics, English and (usually) calculus.</p>
