<p>I heard that U of R has a early assurance premed program within the state of New York. Is this true and if so what exactly is it?<br>

<p>UR does not have a specific early assurance program.</p>

<p>However medical schools around here do. UB has one, but I'm pretty sure you have to go to UB in order to be eligible. </p>

<p>SUNY Upstate Medical School has one for any sophomore. There should be one other one, but I can't think of it off the top of my head</p>

<p>UR's only early assurance premed program is the highly competitive REMS program, but overall medical school acceptance rates at the UofR have been exceptionally high (in the high 80s% - i think roughly 88%?)</p>

<p>Plus - its really really nice to have the UR Medical Center right on campus...maybe you could get in touch with the right people =P</p>

<p>Oh yea definatly. </p>

<p>They're really friendly as well. REMS is the early assurance, but that's pre-college and is uber-selective. </p>

<p>You can fulfill the "academic" and "research" 'parts' at the very least at the UR. *</p>

<p>*Med schools look at your extracurricular, academic, research, and couple other things. etc etc etc.</p>

<p>REMS is not the only one. When I went and visited the campus, I talked to one of the pre-med advisors. She gave me a handout explaining everything, and there is an Early Assurance Program that you can apply for as a soph for SUNY Upstate / U of B.</p>

<p>I'm getting conflcting information on the early assurance program at UB.</p>

<p>When you visit the ub page..
<a href="http://www.smbs.buffalo.edu/ome/admission/admission_specialprogram.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.smbs.buffalo.edu/ome/admission/admission_specialprogram.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You cleraly read at the first line "UB undergraduate sophomores can apply...."</p>

<p>But the weird thing is that a dozen other colleges (even Columbia University) lists that as a program which any sophomore can apply to. </p>

<p>Oh well, I know for sure that SUNY upstate has that program. Mount Sinai also has an EAP program if your looking into that sort of thing. </p>

<p>Again I'm not terribly sure about UB, but it's worth a look see.</p>
