[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northeast Ohio has a 6-year BS-MD admit program. It works for kids who are absolutely committed to a career as a doctor. That’s rare for a 16-17 year old to have that degree of certainty especially if they’ve gone through the American system which encourages exploration. I can see why direct admit programs can be attractive, but they’re not for most kids. [/quote]

No one will force them to complete the program.  I had a relative enroll in a 7 year BS-MD program who opted to drop out and get a regular BS degree and pursue a different career.  As long as you can pay the tuition-you can always change your mind.

And for some people-being able to save on 1-2 years of tuition by doing these accelerated BS-MD degrees means that they can save on what is already crippling levels of student debt.[/quote]

Or just enroll at the regular time and get a full scholarship like my wife  :mrgreen: [/quote]

Yeah sure-are you offering to fund those scholarships for all medical students? Let us know.  [/quote]

NYU did[/quote]
