Jag is probably the most selective. You need to take the MCAT (or UKCAT/GAMSAT), and get at least a 20 (not that this is an overly difficult task). The less established the program, and the more expensive, is probably the least competitive school to get into.

For example, the Univ. of Gdansk has an MD/PhD program now for college grads that is 6 years in length. I talked to the professor running it, and he is very keen on getting people interested. Since these waters are untested, they are probably very easy programs to get into, comparatively.

Apply with caution!

The website states that the deadline for application is June 15, but I would email the school and see for sure. English programs at European schools have been known to under-fill their classes at times, so they may still accept an application.

No harm in trying. Good luck.

Like Rotten said, no harm in asking. However, Jag is getting more competitive, and on the eve of their CA approval, I think they are less desperate to fill their seats.

If you want Cali in your future, and you want Poland, I'd probably wait till next year and go to Jag. That is, of course, if you can't apply still. I've head Poznan is close to approval, as well, I don't think they are quite as close as Jag though. Try applying there, too, though, if you can.
