<p>I am a senior in high school, and i am applying early for college. i want to get into the 8 year direct b.s/m.d. program to become a doctor. I can't find that option, so do i have to first get accepted into the college and then apply for that program or are direct programs available on the common application.</p>

<p>Only specific schools have those programs and those are notoriously hard to get into. For instance, WashU has the Medical Scholars Program which guarantees you admission into its school of medicine if you keep a certain GPA. But it only accepts less than 10 students a year.</p>
<p>Check the application guide sticky, it will answer all of your basic questions.</p>
