<p>is there a link for a list of medical schools that accept students in the sophomore year of college, assuring them a place in the medical school</p>
<p>Generally the odds of this are so low that one should not base one's undergraduate decision on such a relatively remote chance anyway.</p>
<p>I believe there are some schools that will allow outside applications. I know someone at Cornell who got into Stonybrook (I think it was Stonybrook) early. He wanted me to apply as well but I can't remember why I didn't (laziness, didn't meet residency requirements, or something). He ended up taking the MCAT anyway, scoring a 33, and going to Georgetown.</p>
<p>Wake Forest's program accepts people from any undergrad.</p>
<p>I do believe University of Colorado at Boulder has one.</p>
<p>Boston College/ Boston University has one and the application is due VERY soon!</p>
<p>tulane and i believe tufts have one.</p>
<p>wait i dont get it; if you are required to have a 3.5 gpa to start with and "for some" have to score at least 30 MCAT, isnt it just like applying to other med schools.</p>
<p>Yes. Yes, it is.</p>
<p>wow.. haha that is just messed up</p>
<p>Although if a school is willing to automatically offer me an acceptance if I have a 3.5/30, I'd take it! That's still a significant advantage to actually going through the application process at the school.</p>
<p>First, that assumes that the application process at that school is not annoying and tedious.</p>
<p>Second, that assumes that their minimum requirements (3.5, 30) are actually what it takes. One of the Tufts spots is likely to be more in the 36 range.</p>
<p>Third, that assumes they're not locking you in -- either explicitly or implicitly.</p>
<p>The Wake Forest program's application process is actually during junior year, not sophomore year. It doesn't require the MCAT, but that only helps you if the plan is to take the MCAT late junior year. They take a very limited amount of people (<5), and if you get in, you must go. Seems like you're just shifting the process from senior to junior year (although only for one school) and possibly avoiding the MCAT, but overall it isn't that appealing.</p>
