Junior looking for bsmds (chance-me/advice?)

You can take the required courses for medical school admissions at just about any four year college…so UGA would be fine. I’m also not sure GT is a safety, but you do have a good chance there. If it were me…I’d pick one more sure thing to apply to. If I’m allowed to make suggestions, I would suggest University of Pittsburgh.

If you go the regular medical school admissions route, you will need to apply broadly. Many applicants apply to a mix of MD and DO programs.

As noted above, BS/MD programs are very highly competitive with acceptance rates in the single digits.

This is jumping the gun a little…but what about finances should you attend medical school? That likely will be $100,000 a year. Going to an undergrad where you won’t have any debt, and maybe can conserve funds for medical school isn’t a bad idea. It sounds like you will be eligible for scholarships for those GA Publics…right?

But you might want to also look at places with generous scholarships for NM finalists.
