bluewind, I actually applied to vcu, drexel, umkc, and brown for the bs/md programs- and what I figured was those direct programs are great right now but if you’re smart enough (which I’m sure everyone here is if you’re applying to these programs) getting into a top 20 med school shouldn’t be too hard from college. But just some general high school stats I had:

5-5.1 w/3.8-3.9 uw
top 2% (at one of the top 50 high schools in the nation)
the usual hospital volunteering and president of a few clubs
two internships (private clinic and major hospital)
~2150 SAT (this was horrible but my sat II’s made up for it)
almost perfect SATII’s (chem, phys, bio, and math II)

It just depends on what you want to do and whether you want to take a calculated risk- I love it where I am right now and definitely wouldn’t change that for a thing
