[quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for the update.  I went through the whole thread not realizing it was two years old.

I definitely would have chosen BU as well.  The full ride plus seven years med school are great but the close to guaranteed admission to med school is beyond compare.  I have no doubt that your DD would have a really good shot at getting admitted to med school otherwise based on likely high GPA and MCAT but the BU program allows her to to get into med school with far less stress.

She can afford to fluff one of the required courses and not stress that her chances for med school have evaporated.  And while I am sure she is pursuing research, volunteer hours, shadowing, clinical time etc., she doesn't need to put in the extreme amount of hours other med school hopefuls do just to get a shot at one acceptance.

Much of what people have written about med school on this thread is not accurate.  Undergrad matters very little, and same for med school but less so (assuming we are not talking Caribbean).  Where you do residency for your specialty does matter, but even then if you are very entreprenurial you can do very well financially.
