Has anyone been accepted with a BAAS degree?

[Loyofosho]

Hi everyone, I'm a long time lurker but this is my first time posting.

I'm wondering if any of you out there have been accepted to an MD school with a Bachelor's of Applied Arts and Sciences degree, or maybe know someone who has. I absolutely know that Medical Schools accept any bachelor's degree, but my husband doesn't believe that a BAAS degree would ever be accepted, and challenged me to find a single example of it happening. Major kudos to anyone who can help me win this one.

Thanks!

I emailed a few admissions depts just to get a feel for what they thought of it too. So far only Baylor College of Medicine responded saying an applicant would be unlikely to be accepted with a BAAS. I was surprised to hear that!

Just make sure it is from a college or university that is regionally accredited. http://www.chea.org/Directories/regional.asp If it has only national accreditation, the degree would not be acceptable to most, if not all, medical schools.
