<p>What are some programs like the rice/baylor partnership where you are guaranteed admission into med school? Are there any that are more prestigious than the rice/baylor one?</p>
<p>There are lots of BA/MD programs available, if that’s what you mean. (In fact, it seems like most medical schools in the U.S. offer some kind of dual-degree undergrad-MD program.) These programs are often seven/eight years long and guarantee acceptance in the associated medical school after you receive your BA, if the minimum requirements are met. Of course, they are also extremely selective.</p>
<p>Other BA/MD programs (off the top of my head) include:
UC Riverside/UCLA medical school
Wash U (WUSTL) Medical Scholars program
Brown University Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME)
Howard University BS/MD program
Drexel University BA/BS/MD Accelerated Degree program
(not sure if this last one is the same thing as the Lehigh/Drexel BA/MD program partnership)
Duquesne/Washington & Jefferson/Widener College with Temple University School of Medicine
University of Missouri - Kansas City BA/MD program
Wayne State University (in Michigan) MedStart program</p>
<p>I did a little Googling and found these lists:

<p>HPME at Northwestern is the most prestigious combined program available with a reasonable number of seats (30+) with both schools ranked under 20. It is highly attractive because it is 7 years and no MCAT.</p>
<p>WashU scholars has 10 seats (15?) except the admission into med school requires a very high bar - 3.8 GPA and 36 MCAT. This combination gives the highest ranked medical school but a very high bar to keep your admission.</p>
<p>Caltech UCSD is another with 6 or 8 seats.</p>
<p>Baylor x2 at Baylor University in Waco, TX is the same Baylor medical school program offered at Rice. I’d imagine it’s less competitive though.</p>
