I’m stacy’s sister - and she’s right, I am happy with the Rice program! I had stats similar to yours, so you should definitely look into these programs. Unfortunately, unless you have already applied to Rice, you have missed the deadline. But other programs may still be accepting applications.

You should also look at the multiple degree programs forum on this site.

Also, Slipper, i totally disagree with you. I resent that you think the people in these programs are slackers. Maybe you don’t know people in these programs? Trust me, they aren’t slackers. If they were, they wouldn’t be in the programs!

I am in a combined program and did not do it so that I could slack off. I did it so that I would have the freedom to explore multiple areas of interest to me with out worrying about how it would look to a med school admissions staff. I did it so that I could save money (many of these programs give merit aid, and rice and baylor, at least, are far less expensive than comparable schools). I am in the program so that I can do study abroad, internships, research in sociology, etc - basically things that might seem to not be medically related but are important to me as well.

I am enjoying life and having a “true college experience”, and most people in these programs do as well.
