Boston University School of Medicine

Boston Med has an accelerated med program with Boston University. It is called the Seven-Year Liberal Arts/Medical Education Program or SMED by some people.

Note: They DO NOT send you a rejection letter if you don't get an interview. They do tell you, but they don't do it separately. The rejection letter comes with your acceptance to the undergrad in April. So if you don't get an interview notification by late February, assume that it's a rejection.

To remain in the program, you have to score a 30 on the MCAT and maintain a 3.5 GPA. This program is a great deal because Boston is a great location. It provides you with immense opportunities for research in places like Massachusetts General Hospital (affiliated with Harvard), Brigham and Young (Harvard), Beth Israel (Harvard), NEMC (Tufts), and BUMC (Boston). Also, Boston Med has a pass/fail system for the first two years. This alleviates the stress level by a whole lot.

• Apply by December 1st
