<p>I'm currently a high school junior well I guess now I'm a high school senior. (Yay summer!!!) I want to decide which career pathway I will go into by the end of this summer. I'm debating between Pharmacy and Medicine. I would not mind either job. I know a lot of study with Medicine and Pharmacy no joke either.
So I want to know a list of colleges with direct med programs (both DO and MD programs). I would also like to know the average SAT and ACT grades for the colleges and the GPAs for the colleges. Thanks.</p>
<p>No American medical schools accept students directly out of high school. All require a bachelor’s degree although some have combined BA/MD programs that take 6 or 7 years to complete instead of the normal 8 years. Admission to these combined programs is extremely competitive.

<p>Well that is what I meant Im looking for the BS/MD, BA/MD, BA/DO, BS/DO, and PharmD that you apply for as a senior and go into. They are 0-6, 0-7, 0-8, etc. That is what I meant by direct programs.</p>
<p>I don’t know test score/gpa requirements but I have heard that in the Boston University program I linked to, students admitted would likely be admitted to regular undergrad programs at Ivy League schools. They have by far the highest entry stats for students at BU.</p>
<p>Anyone know about other direct programs and the admission requirements. Also, Im looking for colleges on the East Coast, preferably the Northeast region.</p>
<p>The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is an OUTSTANDING biology/health undergraduate university. It is private, so don’t expect tuition to be cheap, but it has an extremely competitive and prestigious 6 year Pharm program that is not difficult to get into, but is literally impossible to transfer into. It is an extremely difficult school, so keep that in mind. The academics there are extremely difficult and rigorous and the students are competitive. It’s a great school, and its acceptance rate into med school is sky high if you don’t go with the Pharm program (or you could go with the pharm program and just switch out if you ever change your mind, but don’t think you’ll be able to transfer in, it’s not possible).</p>
