This is my reaction too. Without implying anything about the OP, seems a bit manufactured. And I cannot believe that someone without a license is being allowed to take vitals.

Thereâs no thread for the Pitt student. He graduated with my son. Iâve known him since Tball. Heâs an exceptional student. He turned down Penn for a free ride at Pitt, honors and GAP Medical.
Even if you donât get GAP, Pitt is solid for premed. Especially if you get into Honors. Tons of medical research opportunities on campus.
I think Penn State has a few BSMD students. Search the Schreyer Honors site.
If you havenât shadowed I would make that a priority.
If youâre NMF I would look at schools that offer big scholarships. Most schools can prepare you for med school. Then try for a few BSMD acceptances. Good luck.
First off, only a slim majority of âpremedsâ out of high school actually go to medical school. They find other passions. This makes a BSMD program generally a bad idea, no matter how enticing it seems right now. Chances are, youâll choose a different major. Find a good college that is a good fit for you. You really donât want to be tied down to a scholarship that chains you to a specific major. Thatâs a fast track to misery. Keep an open mind about what you study.
Also, rankings are great for selling magazine subscriptions, but theyâre otherwise useless. Just find an affordable school that works for you that gives you flexibility to explore majors.
