They are hard to get into. I know someone who got into the one at Brown. He was strong students and oddly enough got denied for regular admission at several schools, including Vanderbilt. Admissions is a bit of a crap shoot these days.

Anyway, look at some programs at less competitive schools - I think University of Kansas offers an accelerated BA/MD program. (6 year)

Next summer, you might try some medical research. See mysummeradvisor.com for some premed or biology programs and look for ones that offer research opportunities.

There just aren’t that many clinical opportunities for a high school student, beyond volunteering and shadowing. They aren’t going to put an IV in somebody!
