<p>Even Harvard-worthy students are not guaranteed acceptance into BA/MD programs–they are often looking for specific medical work, such as research or volunteer work, not to mention the obvious high expectations in terms of grades, test scores, other ECs and so on. I would not recommend even applying to a BA/MD unless you have some experience in these fields–this works against those who realize they want to go into Medicine late in their high school career. I was accepted to Dartmouth and Notre Dame, but neither of the BA/MDs I applied to, and I know someone who is now working on her PhD in psychology at a top 20 school who was also not accepted (she was, I believe, pre-med at the time).</p>
