Does anyone know if someone can choose to do this option and get any BS, or does it have to be a chem/bio/phys with pre-med concentrations?

As long as you do the pre-reqs for med school. You should be good to go.

What if the pre-reqs are already done?

Then have a degree completion plan. The people reviewing those packages should understand that you can major in anything and go to med school.

One thing to keep in mind with the STA-21 program is that the payback is 9 years if you do HPSP and 12 years if you go to USUHS! You are also not guarenteed to go to med-school with the program.

You would be if you did the Medical Corps option. But there are only 2 slots per year.
