<p>what schools offer straight out of high school 7 year med programs?</p>

<p>I know MSU does. ISU maybe?</p>

<p>Rice/Baylor Med</p>

<p>Rice/Baylor is an 8 year program, not 7. Northwestern's HPME is an accelerated 7 year program. Look at the combined BA/MD discussion board for more schools or check out this: <a href="http://www.medicalhelpnet.com/content/view/28/46/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.medicalhelpnet.com/content/view/28/46/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The University of Illinois at Chicago has a program called GPPA which is a program that is designed for academically motivated students who want the security of guaranteed admission to graduate or professional school while pursuing their undergraduate degree</p>

<p>GPPA Program Basics for Prospective Students:</p>

<p>The GPPA program is designed for academically motivated students who want the security of guaranteed admission to graduate or professional school while pursuing their undergraduate degree.</p>

<p>Admission to the GPPA program is competitive, and there are a limited number of spaces available per year. Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry have traditionally been our most competitive programs. Please click on the Degrees link to the left to see a full listing of available programs.</p>

<p>Applications:</p>

<p>Prospective students can request an application by calling (312) 996-8365 between late August and January. Applications are not currently available online. There is no early-decision program for GPPA. Admissions decisions for GPPA are announced in late March each year. </p>

<p>Students may apply to more than one GPPA program, but they must submit a separate and complete application for each program. Students who appy to GPPA do not need to submit a regular UIC application.</p>

<p>Please make note of the following application deadlines:</p>

<p>Pre-medicine program deadline: December, 15, 2005
All other GPPA programs deadline: January 15, 2006 </p>

<p>The GPPA Experience:</p>

<p>GPPA students participate in regular undergraduate coursework with other UIC students. Students are expected to follow the "Conditions of Acceptance" that are in place when they enter the program. These conditions outline coursework, a minimum GPA and other activities that are required of students during their time in the program. Frequently, GPPA students are offered special access to faculty, staff and advisors in their future graduate or professional college. GPPA students also have opportunities to network with one another at special gatherings.</p>

<p>Most GPPA students are required to apply to and participate in the Honors College at UIC. The Honors College offers may special services and facilities to its membership including: private computer lab and study lounge space, personalized advising, research and scholarship opportunities, and the faculty fellow program.</p>

<p>At this time, GPPA students do not receive preferential treatment for registration or housing.</p>

<p>Please note that starting for fall 2006 admission, the GPPA pre-pharmacy program will require that students complete a BS or BA degree prior to beginning the PHARMD program. This requirement is only for GPPA students and does not apply to traditional applicants to the PHARMD program. </p>

<p>Brown's program, PLME, is eight years, but you can major in anything you want to as an undergrad. It's nearly impossible to get into, though.</p>

<p>union's med program app is way past due</p>

<p>USC's program is 8 years</p>

<p>Check out Northwestern’s Program. 7 years and one of the best (probably the best aside from Harvard med) in the nation.</p>

<p>VCU (Virginia Commonwealth)</p>

<p>I was looking at Union’s combined medical program and it seems like one of the easier ones to get into. But is the MCAT needed for that? Also, I read that Albany med school isn’t very great, so is it worth going there?</p>

<p>UCSD has an extremely selective program, but it’s really highly regarded. I think they only take around 10 ppl a year…</p>

<p>Wait… USC and UCSD have 7/8 year programs straight from high school?</p>

<p>Yes… USC’s is an eight year program. UCSD’s is only for California residents and has high minimum requirements (2250 SAT, I believe). There is also a Caltech/UCSD program. Those are all the ones in California that I can name.</p>
