Are BS/MD programs worth it?

I think you really need to look at the costs. If you can get into a competetive 6 or 7 yr program, you can get into a regular med school too.

The combined programs are mostly at expensive private schools. I encourage you to look into your in-state med schools. In the end, you will end up in the same place without the same level of debt.

I went to my state med school…really glad I did. I did my residency at a competetive and highly ranked program. No difference between the kids from the state schools and the expensive private schools.
