Just saw an interesting story written by Rafid (he has a Youtube channel “MedSpeak” covering lots of helpful pre-med topics) on his experience applying to 2 med school early assurance programs. He is IL resident, attending U of IL@Chicago.

SUNY Upstate: apply at end of sophomore year, cGPA 3.5 + SAT/ACT
U of Toledo: apply in junior year (by Oct 31), cGPA 3.7 + sGPA 3.5 + SAT/ACT
Both programs allow applicants from any universities and give out around 15 acceptance spots.
