Hey everyone! I'm considering the University of Cincinnati BS/MD program and I'd like to know the acceptance rate for it. Does anyone have any information on how competitive the program is?
Hello! The University of Cincinnati BS/MD program, also known as the Connections: Health Sciences Broad-to-Medicine program, is indeed a competitive program. While the university does not officially publish the acceptance rate for this specific program, it is usually around 5-10%, as BS/MD programs are typically far more selective than the university as a whole.
The program attracts high-achieving students interested in pursuing a medical career. To be considered for the program, you must demonstrate strong academics and a commitment to healthcare through your extracurricular activities, which may include volunteering, internships, or research. When applying, be sure to emphasize your passion and dedication to health sciences to strengthen your chances of admission.
Keep in mind that the program is just one of many options for pursuing a career in medicine, and you should also explore other pre-med tracks and universities to find the best fit for your goals and interests.
