in these programs though, in the interview, they specifically ask why the student wants to go to medicine. Because it is so competitive, the schools are so careful that they pick people going into medicine for the right reasons. About course load, i’m not going to say that med school isnt difficult. However, i dont think the jump is necessarily from a 1 to an 8. Those in the BS/MD programs are people who have worked as hard as they could in high school, taking the toughest classes and getting the best scores while doing numerous different activities. Chances are, they’re going to do the same in med school. So while i will concede the jump exists, i would say it is more from a 4 or 5 to an 8 than a 1 to an 8. While it is a good thing that the programs are reducing their numbers, in the end, after they’ve been reduced, those accepted are the top students who honestly i think will make the transition more easily than others.
