pharm major thinking of med

[justbrit86]

i am in a Freshman in a 6year Pharm.D program but it has been my aspiration to become an M.D… is there any way that pharmacy students can be accepted into med school after 4 years instead of 6 years….someone told me it may not be very likely since i only get a degree after 6 years….however, i know i can do well both on gpa and MCAT if i study….i am in pharmacy as a backup….
i know that i can get into a med school through the traditional route of pre-med but my parents hate taking risks…..
also is there any way to transfer into those combined med programs (i made a huge mistake in high school in not applying b/c my SATs would surely have gotten me in plus w/ my extracurriculars)
if not could i enter as a freshman in the 6year accelerated med programs….
thanks for reading my rather lengthy question
if would mean the world to me if there was a possibility to try for med school while still having pharmacy as backup

Not sure if I’ve replied to you yet before, but you don’t have to have a degree to get into all med schools. Usually the requirement is at least 90 credit hours of college level work, including all the premed requirements. So, you don’t have to finish the pharm degree before going to med school. It might help though since the information overlaps.
