Are the early programs binding?

<p>Whe one applies to a 6 to 7 year program as a high school senior and is accepted (which of course I understand is a crapshoot) is that program binding? Lets say you wish to apply to other medical schools after college? Is that generally allowed?</p>

<p>The policies will vary from program to program. Some will allow you to apply to other med schools, and still retain your spot at the med school affiliated with the program. Others will allow you to apply elsewhere, but you will have to forfeit your seat in the program. I don't know if any programs strictly forbid students from applying out.</p>
