Wait, when you say BS/MD program surely you don't mean that you were accepted in a combined program and you dropped it to apply out with less than a 30 on the MCAT?

No. It's just a program my university had that gave pre-meds exposure into the medical field. It isn't a 7 year program or anything like that.
