Thanks all, ended up going with orgo as everyone suggested and got an interview.

Follow-up question, obviously there are many pros (and some cons losing flexibility and the what if factor), but one major pro is no MCAT. However, they are already studying and scheduled to take in August with med school result out in July, so they’ll have to commit full-force regardless.

I can’t help but wonder if getting to this point shows they are on track to do well traditional path as program is very selective? They didn’t want to ED in college as wanted to see all options, so this is a departure from their norm. I’m following their lead, not involved, but feel so clueless on med school landscape in the background other than how competitive it is. We also have a strong state school so that’s always a consideration in my mind too.

Is the school of thought these days to take the sure thing if you have that chance?
