Does anyone know if the pre med programs from either school will be sufficient inorder to apply for a license once I finish med school??? Im reallyyy worried about this now!

ask the medical boards directly. email about a dozen or so states you are interested in working in. its a tough question because the reqs are for 60-90 credit hours undergrad and depending on the wording may need to be from 'accredited' institutions offering the undergrad education. georgia, and illinois the two states i am most familiar with just need what mr tipton stated which is a translation, with illinois also requiring a formal written affiliation agreement with the med school for core rotations. michigan used to have the paper application on the website but a quick search now just has the online app..but if i recall correctly when i looked at it last year it said accredited institution for undergrad.
either way you better get this info directly from th emedical boards you want to practice under.
however things are getting tougher for us and the rampant proliferation of med schools down there will only increase scrutiny and douible checks on all our stuff so i can see these pre med programs possibly becoming an issue later on down the road for more states since the education technicaly is done at unaccredited colleges since the med schools don't give undergrad degrees? something to look out for
