I have never heard of "pre-med" degree. But I think that almost all college applications are done by this time and decisions have been made.

Call up your state's 4 year colleges and ask.
If already full, attend community college for a year, then apply to the best school you can get into.
Any accredited school will offered you a pre-med education. Some better than others.

If you go to community college for one semester and you have like 15 credits you can transfer to your state university for spring semester.
and by the way there is no such a thing as a pre-med degree, only pre-med required courses, you can major in anything you want as long as you take the pre-med required courses.

It is too late for your really competitive colleges. Try lower tier schools (ones with division II athletics are a good start). If all else fails go to community college for a semester and apply as a winter transfer to the 4 year.

No such thing as a pre-med degree... and most colleges accept applications in the Fall for NEXT Fall matriculation. You should probably start community college and do transfers up.

I can't see how anybody will take you seriously with that degree (for example, when applying for a lab position), but ok.

My school does a pre-health degree (includes the basic med school pre-reqs plus the useful health-related science courses, calc and statistics courses, research units, and an ethics course). It got me out of taking ecology, history & philosophy of science, and a few other classes I deemed a waste of my time that would have been required for a bio major. I'm graduating this semester with a B.S. in pre-health sciences with a pre-M.D. emphasis... and it has not affected my chances at getting research positions either.
