UAlbany Early Assurance Program

I was hoping some current or former students might have some insight The UAlbany Early Assurance Program to the Albany Medical College MD Program. The website talks about interviewing with the Pre-Health Advisory Committee. I was hoping to get some feedback that if you stay above the required 3.5 GPA, is it reasonable to expect that you will be accepted?

Also, I would love some opinions on the honors college. Are the perks worth it for the more rigorous schedule and the fact that it requires a thesis in your senior year?

Thanks in advance!!!
