Direct admission into medical program after high school?

We Answered:

It's not medical school exactly. I think what you're referring to is a BS/MD degree, which is a 6-8 year program that combines your undergrad degree and med school so you don't have to do them separately. There aren't too many of them out there, and they are very competitive to enter. Here's a list of some of the schools that offer this program.

I know there were some of these that allowed high school juniors and seniors in when I was looking for mine, but I'm in college so I didn't make a note of which ones they were, so I guess you will just have to look through them.

But most of them are for biomedical research, and more geared towards people who want the M.D./Ph.D or who want to research the rest of their life. But it is still good experience nonetheless.
