WashU vs Emory vs USF 7yr BSMD vs Georgia Tech

Only a tiny fraction of “premeds” coming out of high school actually go to medical school. Take Premed out of the decision. Chances are, you’ll end majoring in something else by finding your real hidden passions. That makes BSMD programs a really bad idea. You’re choosing a college based solely on going to medical school, and if you choose something else, it can really mess things up for you.

You can’t go wrong with GA Tech. If you get top grades and high MCAT scores, you have an excellent setup to getting in to medical school. In-state medical schools generally favor in-state applicants. If you choose another major, it’s still a top school with plenty of job prospects, and you would have very little debt.
