physicsnerd42: great recommendations.

Could you help with my dilema:

Villanova/Drexel ( 7 year DS/MD) vs regular JHU BME (Biomedical Engineering)
I was accepted to both above programs.
I want to be a surgeon in a long term.

Which path would you advice for me to follow?
Do you have an email or how I could contact you?
Need your input.

Is the Villanova/Drexel program binding such that you can't apply out to other med schools?

Thanks for the reply. No, it isn't binding. I can apply out to other med schools. Not sure how challenging Villanova will be academically, as I am also interested in perhaps doing MD/Phd in future. My strength is in physics, math etc.

Take the combined deal if you want to go to Med school.
If you want to be a professional BME then go to hopkins.
