Are BS/MD Programs Worth It? Pros & Cons

You're in high school and have determined you want to become a doctor. There are two paths in front of you. Go to college, take the MCAT, and hopefully get into medical school, or go the BS/MD route, shortening your training and streamlining the process. Should you go BS/MD or the traditional path? I'll help you decide.

    For any high schooler watching this, take the BS/MD route. Once you get to college you have to meet minimums in specific classes and you've already gotten your shoe in the med school connected to your program. Just get the required MCAT score and you'll be fine. Literally everyone I have met who has done this enjoyed undergrad more than the premeds who did not do this type of program.

    You and so many others in these comments say "take the BS/MD route" as if its so easy and represents an actual choice. In reality, of course, BS/MD programs are insanely competitive. Take me, for example. I applied to a local BS/MD program with a 4.6 weighted GPA (second in my class of 350), 1490 sat, and 15 AP classes, with 11 5s and 4 4s on the associated AP exams. Despite these strong credentials, however, I was rejected in the first stage of the process. And, to add insult to injury, the med school associated with said BS/MD program is among the bottom 25% of med schools in the country! What do they even want from applicants? If you haven't discovered the cure to fuckin' cancer, I guess you're not good enough. Anyways, the point is that sure, getting into med school normally isn't easy, but it's a heck of a lot easier than BS/MD.

    Graduating this year from a 6 year BS/MD program and wouldn't change a thing. Here's why: -The "typical college experience" is not the same for undergrads trying to get into med school. Its more stressful, with less time to actually enjoy being a college student. As someone with the guarantee of medical school, I thoroughly enjoyed my undergrad coursework and found plenty of fun things to do and joined greek life to get myself the social experience I wanted. -The rank and prestige of the medical school you go to matters, I wont deny that. But, no matter what school you come from, there are plenty of ways to show that your a top student so that when it comes time to apply for residency after, you can go where you want. My school is lower tier, but we send students to the top residency programs every year because no matter where youre from if you work hard, you can present yourself as exceptional. -Its definitely not for everyone, and you have to know what you wanna do in life and be committed to medicine, but if you are, its the right way to go in my book. You are saving time, saving money on tuition and living expenses, and getting started in the workforce earlier. When a career in medicine guarantees at least 3 years of training after medical school, finishing at 24 as opposed to 26 (or later for gap year students) makes a huge difference when you can reach top earning potential before you're 30.

    In a lot of countries (most, if not all, countries in Europe and Latin America, for example) the traditional route is similar to the BSMD, you go straight from highschool to university. Every career is like this because there is not such a thing as an intermediate stage between highschool and university or tertiary education, such as college in the US. The thing is, careers are longer because the basic contents you need to learn (which in the US you would learn in college) are provided during the first couple of years of every given career. For example, in Argentina you go straight from highschool to study at a given university. Med school takes at least 6 to 7 years, Law or any kind of Engineering take around 5 years, etc. The concept of having to go through an extra step before entering university is non existent in the minds of people in a lot of countries around the world. That's to the the point that when English is taught in my country, for example, we are told that the word "college" is a synonym to the word "university".

    Another con that wasn’t really touched in the video is if you have a lot of college credit before graduating high school! In my case, I had over 2 years worth of college credit. So, I would graduate with a bachelor’s degree in less than 2 years. The BS/MD programs I looked into had a minimum 3 year bachelor’s degree requirement. It was actually going to set me back a whole year. I’m in med school now, having only done 2 years of undergrad to get my BS. So for people who have a lot of college credit rethink doing a BS/MD. You’d be surprised you can actually finish med school quicker if you just dual enroll (get a whole lot of college credit) while in high school.

    Great video! As a UK medical student it's always interesting for me to see how it works from across the pond. Read more for my advice on BS/MD In the UK medical degrees are 5 year degrees that most people start at 18 so 8/7/6 years is pretty manageable. If you're 100% sure you want to study medicine and you feel you have enough experience of medicine I'd definitely say you should consider applying.

    Went to a BS/MD program and dropped it after realizing i had way too many interests to commit to that path. after exploring the real world, i missed medicine, so I re-applied to med school and am now a current medical student. BS/MD is good for people who have a one track mind, but not for dreamers like me :)

    BS MD is so nice!! having a 19 year old brain in medical school is amazing. being 22/24 is a difference. The older you get you start to get a little more tired. As a BS in neuroscience many classes I took in my junior and senior year were repeated in medically school. I have taken multiple courses 2-3x. Cell biology and biochemistry are already so similar in undergrad & again in med school...I mean I guess I did well. Not necessary. Also doing BS md means you don’t really have to do ECs, research and volunteering. You can aim to get your 3.6+ for the first two years and then boom you start school! it’s a fantastic choice tbh

    It’s a good idea for those who know what they want early on, but shouldn’t be the only option. Not everyone knows what they want at 18.

I realize however, I’m probably an exception to general trends in terms of when and how I decided)

    I am a senior in undergrad who was in a BS/MD program! Some parts of this video I completely understand, but others I disagree with somewhat. Even though I am a BS/MD student, I still strived to get the highest GPA possible (3.95 GPA and my cutoff was a 3.5). My MCAT score was definitely a relief since I only needed a 509, so that part is true. I still feel like I got the greatest of my college experience, and I still participated in research and clinical internships for my own benefit. I wasn't set on one college for sure in my applications to undergrad, so being accepted into the program was a big blessing because it sort of made that decision for me (and I LOVE the school I am at). I can understand completely why this is a big decision for a senior in high school to make, but we could also drop the program if our plans changed (many kids at my school still applied for other prestigious schools just to see)

I have been accepted into a technical school where my junior year I took a medical terminology class and Allied Health and this upcoming year I will take the professional nursing program. I was supposed to get shadowing hours from this but due to COVID, I'm unable to get any shadowing or volunteering hours. I am just worried that what I was offered won't be enough.

The mbbs medicine course is for 4.5+1yr internship and you're a doctor by the end of those 5.5 years.. Getting into medical school is entirely based on ur rank in the entrance exam and immediately after high school, no pre med or bachelor's degree requirement

I did not have any medical activities really before COVID, but virtual shadowing and holding leadership positions in your school really helps. Try to get involved deeply in something that means a lot to you, and also you can search for doctors/hospitals to volunteer with now. Showing that will really help you stand out from other applicants who won't have many activities at all. Something recent is better than nothing at all. Feel free to ask me any questions!
