I dropped out of the BMS program because I got 2 other acceptances I wasn't expecting. Truthfully, its a good shot into medical school and I liked the facilities too. The problem is, I commuted 45 min each way, and it has to be treated like a year of med school, no BS. I liked the actual building and the teachers, they were (mostly) all nice. The pre-clinical month is fantastic. The problem is, there are a lot of "unnecessary" classes and work (social/emotional workshops, an online Masters in public health or other stuff). The exams are very high pressure, screw up one you're basically done. Each exam covers a lot of material. NO practice quizzes, no clicker sessions, 9 long boring lectures in a very odd schedule, and then a massive test with questions unlike anything done in class. Because of the stupid high pace it's at, lectures are fast, no time for questions, practice problems given not at all helpful. So many students cheat with an online database they were using for old tests. Since i didn't do that, well studying became crammed between essays and other stuff. Therefore, the high percentage of people getting in, is true, but it's not an automatic, they worked hard for it. Overall, if you have no other choice, walk away, since you'll waste your money and probably not make it in. If you have other choices, take it and not waste a year. If your other choices aren't MD programs and you really want an MD program (this is probably most of the students there), and you have the time and money to work very hard for an intense year, then it's worth it.
