I’m going to sound like a wet blanket, but based on the schools you’re looking at why not just go to college and apply to medical school separately. As a person applying to medical school after college I can’t possibly understand why you would think that it would be a good idea to want to do those particular programs. It looks like all of those programs are bottom 20% of medical schools. Given that, even if you got in and went to one of them, you would have an exceedingly difficult time getting a good residency from such a low ranked school. Also it’s been found that many students in guaranteed med programs struggle their first few years in medical school because they didn’t have to work as hard in college and weren’t used to the workload.
