You CAN be in HPME for 3 years, receive your Bachelor’s degree (which does not happen after your first year of medical school, it happens at the end of 3 years), take the MCAT, then apply out of medical school. However, for HPME, you are given 4 class waivers that you can use to get out of taking certain classes, and if you waive these classes initially you probably would have to take them to receive your degree. I think it’s a terrible thing to do that whole scenario, because you are taking the spot from someone who is actually a morally decent person and intends to keep their spot, but if you really are that way you can do it. HPME doesn’t kick you out if you take the MCAT and they don’t kick you out if you apply to other medical schools.
