<p>Medical, law, and business schools are graduate programs, but have a completely different application, admissions, and academic system from research-based graduate programs. That is the reason they are segregated in these forums - issues do not translate well between the two groups.</p>

<p>Both groups will occasionally admit students without an undergraduate degree, but it is very rare for professional programs and incredibly rare for research programs. If you plan to go after a graduate program without the undergrad, you need to be operating on a level among the highest in the country.</p>

<p>And even if you provide all these examples - the fact is about 99.9% of students who get admitted are going to have a bachelor’s degree. Getting accepted without a bachelors degree when a program has a less than 10% acceptance rate is a risky proposition. So yeah, there’s a tiny chance that a truly exceptional student could get admitted without one, but why would you take the risk of getting kicked out instead of just finishing the class?</p>

<p>And the fact is <em>most</em> programs do require a bachelor’s degree.</p>
