The University of California, Riverside has a 7-year program in conjunction with UCLA School of Medicine. It’s called the Biomed program. UCR is relatively easy to get into if you are a decent student — 3.6 g.p.a., 1200 on the old SAT (don’t know much about the new one). But, the program is extremely difficult. Anyone who is accepted into the university can declare biomed as their major — 200+ do each year, but only 24 make it to the medical school part of the program. The big disadvantage is that if you don’t make it to the UCLA part, you will probably have much lower grades than you would have had if you were a straight Bio major at UCR or any other good college. This will make it more difficult to get into medical school down the line. For instate students, the tuition is about $6000 for the first three years and $23000 for the last four. Out of state is significantly higher.

Brown has a 6 year program (2 years undergrad, 4 med). If you can get into Brown and pay their exorbatent tuition, it’s a good option.
