<p>I am aware only about 32 schools offer this program. Is this accelerated degree very hard to be accepted into and are there any requirements?</p>
<p>yes to both.</p>
<p>Could you list some of the requirements please?</p>
<p>they vary by program</p>
<p>To get in you usually have to have a 1400+ SAT (CR/M), top 5-10%, certain SAT IIs, sometimes certain classes taken, EC's, etc</p>
<p>To stay in.....MCAT for some, certain classes for some, a certain major for some, a certain amt of summers on campus for some, some have resarch projs req, all have GPA reqs, etc</p>
<p>it's pretty ridiculous to get in, like i'd say the easiest ones to get into have maybe about an 8 to 10% acceptance rate, which is unbelievable considering the pool is filled with talented individuals who've made the minimum requirements....but its much easier later on when you approach med school because the requirements to stay in hte program are considerably lower than that if yer applying to medschool through the traditional route (there are exceptions however, like GW in St.Louis that requires you to maintain a 3.8 and 35 on MCAT's....)</p>
<p>look into programs, this forum has a LOT of information considering them.</p>
<p>the requirements can be very harsh, even through college, but its all about whether its worth it or not.</p>
