As a chemistry major, I hung around with a lot of pre-meds. I knew two pre-med students who got into medical school after three years of college. That was far from the norm, they had to be truly exceptional with perfect grades, a very high score on the mcat, and a great interview with the med school. After they earned their MD, the university then counted the medical degree time towards the remaining year of their undergrad studies and officially gave them their BS. I wonder if Baylor did the same?
Exactly, I just said the same thing later. It happened commonly.
