Can I Transfer Into a BS/MD Program?

It is somewhat surprising to me but I often get asked if a person can transfer into a BS/MD program. Generally, the answer is no but there is one limited exception. The University of Missouri Kansas City, UMKC, will consider limited transfers as long as the student has less than 24 hours college credit. This includes any credit earned during the semester when the student is applying to the BS/MD program. The student must also meet all of the other criteria required to apply to the BS/MD program at UMKC. This is NOT a common route into the program but it is an option if you decided later than normal to apply to a BS/MD program.
