Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 2374451, member: 97"] Accelerated medical programs require extra commitment beyond the normally extremely tough pre-med track. I doubt anyone could participate in such a program and play a major D-I sport. Admissions are also extremely competitive with single-digit admittance rates and a very limited number of slots. With so may great candidates, I don't see a committee (each program has an admissions committee separate from normal undergraduate admissions) being willing to gamble a precious slot on someone already committing to a strenuous athletic program. If she wants to go that route and is capable of being admitted dropping basketball would be the price. Edit: I just checked and it doesn't appear that Duke has an accelerated BS/MD program such as those I described. They do have a PHD/MD program (get both in 7 years), but a candidate would apply for that as they are completing a traditional pre-med program. [/QUOTE]
