Hi all,
I was accepted to UMD in the Scholars program. In the future, I would like to apply to medical school. I know UMD has a good record of getting students into great medical schools, but would it matter that I am only in the Scholars program and not Honors? Would it affect my chances of getting into a top-ranked medical school, or would it affect my recommendation that I get from the school? In other words, would I be at any disadvantage if I attend UMD as a pre-med student in Scholars when applying to medical school? Also, is there anyone on here who is in Scholars who can describe a little about the program? I understand it is only 2 years, while Honors is 4.
Thanks in advance!
