Hi everyone!

So I have noticed that Dartmouth doesn’t offer any Bachelor of Science degrees and I vaguely remember reading from their website that it’s because they focus on the liberal arts more. I selected my first interest as Neuroscience and my second one as Chemistry. Will having a BA, not a BS degree, possibly affect chances of being accepted at a medical school? I do understand that Dartmouth is regarded as prestigious in the eyes of grad school/med school Adcom, but will they mind that I will be a science major without a BS degree? Regardless of the lack of BS degrees, Dartmouth is still one of my top schools, but I would have to reconsider keeping it as my top school if this circumstance affects chances of admission into medical school. And I also understand that my MCAT score and GPA will have far more affect on medical school admissions than a BA will. Thanks for the help
