i think you missed the deadlines...!!! b/c i tried appyling after high school year, but all the candidates were selected...FYI deadline was around Nov. 15th to choose students...if you apply to these kind of schools they usually stress your ACT/SAT scores!!! you have to pretty much ace them...hope this helps!

Tulane has one. But you can be admitted w/ a 3.6 or higher after your first two undergrad years w/o an MCAT.

WOW...give some info on this!!! very interested to hear about Tulane...im in my 2nd year!! please share more...

If they dont look at the MCAT what do they look for? ACT/SAT and EC's?? higher % in-state or out-of-state?
 
If you look at the MSAR they have a list of 6, 7, 8, and 9 year programs for High school students.

Here are the 6 year programs: UMKC, Rensselaer Polytechnic, U of Miami, Northeastern Ohio, Penn State and Jefferson Medical college of Thomas Jefferson

7 years: U Cali Riverside and David Geffen of UCLA, GW, U Florida, Northwestern, BU, New Jersey, Sophie Davis of New York City, Union College of Albany, Ohio St, Drexel, Lehigh and Drexel, Villanova and Drexel, Fisk and Meharry, U of Texas at San Antonio, Wisconsin

As of 2? years ago, U of Miami disbanded their 6-year program and require everyone to do it in 7 or 8 yrs. They also added a min. GPA/MCAT requirement to continue on to medical school.
 
University of Missouris at Kansas City has a six year as well.
 
penn state / jefferson wasn't too hard to get into back in high school. they looked mainly at SAT + HS gpa. the "secondary app" (if you can call it that) was just "fill 1 page with whatever you want". you interview in jan/feb, and get in shortly after that. not too hard to get in, once you interview.

I recommend against these progams in general.

There is no way to compress into 6 years without cutting from the curriculum. What's cut usually winds up being stuff you'd rather have had.

You're better off going for an early-assurance route into med-school so you have an ace-in-the-hole when applying to med schools.

I'd also recommend against these programs. Go to college, explore your interests, and have a good time. There's no hurry to rush through.
