Hi Taco Truck,Hi Everyone-
Another current MAMS student here, feel free to ask any questions. I differ from the the other students that have posted on here in that I'm completing the program in one year, and applied to MD programs while completing my masters.
If anyone has any questions, especially concerning the one year option, go ahead and ask them!
And I will say that if you're looking for a great SMP - this is it. It may not have the "guarantee" of getting into BU Med after graduating, but the students who do well in this program end up getting into MD programs. I was told by my advisor that the acceptance rate for students who finish with a 3.8+ (and have a good MCAT, obviously) is virtually 100% (not to BU specifically, just medical school in general).
another question about finishing in 1 year. On the website, it says to register for research credits for 2 summer semesters.Does that just mean the entire summer after the first year of classes ends?
Also, do you know if the lab based thesis could be done at any lab or does it have to be at BU? For instance, could I complete it back in my home state doing research with someone at my undergrad?
Thank you!!
