Technically? Yes.
Realistically? No, not unless some part of your application makes you more competitive than everyone else with more well-rounded academic histories.[/QUOTE]

Think of it this way: Every other applicant (or at least >99% of them) will have at least a bachelor's degree, if not advanced degrees. Most schools will probably auto-screen you out based on that alone. If you happen to make it past an auto-screen, what on your application is going to be so spectacular that it makes up for the lack of what most people consider to be a basic qualification? Unless you're a refugee or a successful politician or something, I'm going to guess nothing. By all measures of practicality, a bachelor's degree is a pre-requisite.
 
I think every US school has a credit minimum and an AA won’t get you there.

For schools that don’t require a bachelors, 90 credits is the minimum that I’ve seen. An AA is 60 credits, and then taking the prereqs on top of that will put you over 90.

Edit: I’m not saying this is a good idea or that it will be enough to get you in.

Nope. There are some med schools that might be happy with 90 credits, but you really, really need the UG degree. There are no shortcuts in this game.
