You have to be a truly incredible candidate because there is no shortage of excellent candidates who have completed a degree.
My own view is that it's better that they have completed a bachelors before a JD or MD. Lawyers and Doctors deal with stuff that is frankly too important to be entrusted to a 22-23 year old. A couple of extra years makes a big difference in development in your early twenties; I know I was a completely different person by then.

Yeah, more undergraduate degrees = more competition for anything. Didn't some get into med school after 2 years undergraduate before? Probably impossible now.
