@efr009, I take no offense to your opinion that it’s hand holding. Some people will agree with you, some will disagree with you. That’s cool. No harm, no foul. I think BS/MD students should have all the information at their fingertips to make these special decisions, especially in a program like this where it’s really tough to leave after a certain point. This isn’t just entering college, the UMKC BA/MD program is truly a combined program at its core.
The reason I post on this thread is because I’ve known people in my class who felt trapped even by Year 2, and it isn’t pretty because it truly impacts them and their families on so many levels. They weren’t stupid, lazy, insecure, or not pro-active. They just didn’t know until it was too late and felt like this was the only way to achieve their dreams. I think it helps people who actively ask questions, as well as those students and their families, who just read this thread in general, and might be afraid to ask questions, about whether the UMKC program is a good fit for them. Knowing the inner details or hand holding as you call it, makes that question easier to answer, I believe.
I’m not surprised that @PinkPrincess2014 asked that question, because you are only allowed to take undergrad classes certain semesters, so you have to fit things in as you can.
