<p>There are about like 30 or so straight med programs in the US that I know of, but I always assumed that each one allowed you to avoid taking the MCAT's, but apparently I was wrong...does anyone have a link or maybe their own knowledge that could tell me which straight med programs allow you to not take the MCAT and go straight to grad? thank you.</p>
<p>yeah......</p>
<p>I don't know of any; however, I do know that Virginia Commonwealth University offers an Honors/Medical school program combined. For instance, when you apply to undergrad and get accepted then maintain the requirements (gpa and taking the right courses)- you are guaranteed admission into their medical school.In other words, you apply both to their undergrad honors program AND their medical school at the same time - well, sort of. But I think it answers your question about "a straight med program". I don't remember if they had any requirements for the MCAT though (minimum score or anything but I am pretty sure you have to take it). Since med school is so hard to get into; if I were wanting to go to med school, I would definitely enroll in the program. Check it out!</p>
<p>Brown PLME, Northwestern HPME, Boston University....</p>
<p>Boston U requires the MCAT (you have to score a minimum 27). Brown does not. I'm not sure about Northwestern, although I don't think they do.</p>
<p>University of Rochester also does not require the MCAT. I think Case Western allows you to skip the MCAT, but if you do choose to take it, you have to score a minimum of 32 (or somewhere around there)</p>
<p>UCSD, also, but you have to be in state to be in the program. I think for Rice/Baylor you don't have to take the MCATs either.</p>
<p>Have also heard Rice program does not require MCAT.</p>
<p>Is this one of the many universities offer a seven-year program that combines undergraduate and medical studies and culminates in an M.D? So can you specialize in certain fields during this time? (e.g. pediatrics, surgery, etc.)?</p>
<p>how do u apply for those?</p>
<p>You only specialize when you do your residency, which is after med school. And for surgery; that is like another 8 years of training.</p>
<p>Thank God! Im thinking of specializing in pediatrics anyway. :) I was confused because some med schools (University of Washington, University of Colorado) have their own departments in pediatrics and others. How can you find more colleges with the direct MD program?</p>
<p>Here is the list:</p>
<p><a href="http://services.aamc.org/currdir/section3/degree2.cfm?data=yes&program=bsmd%5B/url%5D">http://services.aamc.org/currdir/section3/degree2.cfm?data=yes&program=bsmd</a> has a list of programs in the US</p>
<p>Different programs will have different application policies. Some you apply to in your senior year, while the early assurance programs are for college sophmores or juniors. Some programs will have a completely separate application process from the regular undergraduate, while others will simply have one or two more essays, plus a few other requirements.</p>
<p>Edit: worldshopper beat me to it :) <a href="http://www.medicalhelpnet.com/content/view/10/28/%5B/url%5D">http://www.medicalhelpnet.com/content/view/10/28/</a> is an unofficial list, but includes more information about some of the programs (ie. average accepted stats)</p>
<p>WASHU offers some medical program I think..
Also, Texas AM</p>
<p>there's an entire forum devoted to combined degree programs, if you guys want more info</p>
<p>Where is the forum? How do you apply to programs at colleges like these?</p>
<p>anyone at all?</p>
<p>that my friend is under: multiple degree programs under the pre-med forum :)</p>
<p>That will take you to a page with links to all the different pre-med forums on CC</p>
