Well this has deteriorated.

Going to a BS/Md at a place like Drexel is OK as long as you don’t mind not having other options, and are thinking mostly about going into practice. The problem is that you really don’t know what you will want to do in 7 years from now, you will have greatly limited your undergrad curriculum, and while this may sound elitist, your options for post-grad medical training will likely be impacted by your choice of both Drexel and a 6 year program.

Six year programs have a place for specific type of individuals, but by their very nature they lead to limited educational and potentially, limited career options.

If I were an entering freshman with my heart set on med school, I would choose the best school that I could, study what really interested me the most, and make sure that I kicked butt in the classes that mattered when it comes to med school admissions. I was a humanities major before doing an Md/PhD, and in retrospect it was one of my best academic decisions ever.
