Dr. Rubin’s B.A.(B.S.)-M.D. Program List


It has been 40 years since I graduated medical school. Time does fly by fast. When I applied to college, I was not aware of any BS/MD program.  When my children graduated high school there were several. Each year I find the list has changed. Some years there were more and some years there has been less. However, I sense a trend over the last 5 years. Schools are moving away from high school programs. More and more schools offer at entry point from college, either as a freshman, sophomore or even junior. Some schools offer program from both high school and college.  In response to this trend, as of August 2023, I will have 2 lists: early entry from high school or early entry from college. Keep in mind that most programs that will accept students early from college are not open to any student, rather, they will accept students who have attended specific colleges.  This is a good option for students in high school who are not absolutely sure of their career choice or students who were not successful with a direct program.  


These programs are listed alphabetically by Medical School Name - not by college. These programs vary from year to year and there is no common application nor central application service. If you want to apply, you need to consult the specific schools website and their admissions office. 


Please note that  some programs have specific state residency requirements. Few accept foreign students but several will accept Canadian residents.

Good Luck with your search,
