How can I skip college and go straight to Medical School?
Answered

I am a sophomore going into my junior year and want to go into sports medicine and then be a sports physician/doctor. I don't want to waste time at college if it's possible to go straight into medical school.

You can't... lol. It'd be like trying to get your masters degree before getting your undergraduate. However, there are colleges that have fast-track programs for medical school. They're called BS/MD degrees, where you get your Bachelor's and your MD in the same program and in shorter time than doing a Bachelor's and then an MD. They usually last around 6-7 years instead of the typical 8. Please note that these are highly competitive programs, so be ready to fight for what you want. Hope this helps.
