As BRM said, the vast majority of medical schools will require you to have a minimum of a BA or BS before they consider your application. A few will allow you to apply after completing the pre-med requirements (you could probably search on the forums, because it has been discussed in the past. I think it was sakky that posted which schools allowed applicants to apply without a degree), but those schools still highly recommend that you complete a degree. I would assume those that don’t hold a degree would be put at a disadvantage.

As for Harvard:

&lt;a href="http://hms.harvard.edu/admissions/default.asp?page=requirements%5DAt"&gt;http://hms.harvard.edu/admissions/default.asp?page=requirements:

At least three years of college work and a baccalaureate degree are required prior to matriculation in medical school.
