Hi, I'm "Aphrodite's" sister, and I'm a junior in high school right now. I read this board occasionally, and I think it's great, w/ the exception of my sister's posts. --I love these things. I have my heart set on getting accepted into a 6-7 yr bachelors/MD program. I have a couple of questions regarding some in particular. Currently, I'm looking into Northwestern's HPME, the Penn State/Thomas Jefferson program, and the Rice/Baylor program.
Before I start, is it true that even if you decide to attend one of these that you aren't obligated to attend their medical school? I can decide to go elsewhere for medical school? I mainly want to know about the reputations of these programs. I've heard that you aren't eligible for merit-based scholarships in these programs--is that true? Also, does Penn State/Jeff still give you the option of finishing in 6 years? I've heard conflicting reports from my friends. If any of you know anything about the reputations of these programs, I'd love to hear what you have to say. Thanks a bunch.
(P.S. Thanks "Aphro". Now, I think you should change your passwd before it's TOO late )
