Slipper-
Jen is right on this one. Being selected for a BA (or BS)/MD program is no easy thing. I would not apply the word “slacker” to anyone who is accepted into one of these programs. Just as different things appeal to individuals, so does the choice to pursue a combined program rather than have to go throught the angst again in a few years. Student s accepted into these programs are making rather large life decisions at the ripe old age of 17. That should also not be trivialized. While I agree that one of the benefits of being accepted into one of these programs is that it does take some of the pressure off , and allows students to have a life.
