What is flexmed?
As someone who is applying the regular way right now and considered applying to flexmed/Humed let me pass on some advice i got. I went to a HYP level engineering school and had a 2400 sat score. I thought The early assurance would be great but was counseled against it. If you are smart enough to get that gpa, sat score and into that kind of school, you will have be opportunity to interview at many great medical schools. Do not box yourself in this early. It is so important to go through the interview process and find the right fit in a school. Also, financial aid/scholarships can vary vastly between schools and if you commit early you won't be able to compare. I realize the attraction of the sure thing is compelling but trust yourself enough to know that a student as strong as yourself will get plenty of love the normal route.
Just my two cents. Feel free to disagree with me but I think it is at least worth thinking about.
