hi everyone,
i've applied to several accelerated 6 and 7 year BA/MD programs, but since they are so competitive, i find it unlikely that i'll be accepted into any of those...
so what is your opinion of finishing college in 3 years? to me it seems like essentially the same thing as going through a combined program, except you have to take the MCAT and apply to medical school. i mean, if i were accepted into any combined programs i would probably pick those because it makes things easier, but if that doesn't work out, i'm thinking about going to UT or perhaps Rice and graduating in 3 years, which hopefully shouldn't be too hard since i'm majoring in humanities. it saves money + time. does this seem like a good idea? do you know anyone who has successfully graduated in 3 years and gone to medical school? any input would be great! thanks
