Medical School?

[medic911]

I'll start straight into it. I am a paramedic presently but I am wanting to pursue a degree, finish pre-med requirements, score high on the MCAT, get into medical school, finish medical school, and become a full-fledged M.D. I am 21 years old, want to finish my undergrad fast, and don't want to spend four years on a traditional campus, but I don't want to waste time and money if it's not going to help me obtain my goals.

The first question I have is: Does anyone know of someone that has completed their bachelors through testing out and been accepted into medical school? I have heard of one person getting accepted to med school with a degree from TESC but don't know if that was a random chance or if many more people have done it.

In its most basic form, my plan is to obtain my bachelors from TESC or EC, then do my pre-med at a physical university (probably University of Texas). In theory that should be perfectly acceptable, correct? A bachelors from a Regionally accredited school, and pre-med from a large university.

One thing I know is that medical schools are picky about grades/GPA's. If I wanted to have a chance at med school should I be really focused on scoring extremely high on all my CLEPs/DANTES? If I understand correctly, TESC awards a GPA (and a letter grade?) for courses taken from their school only. EC will give you a grade/GPA from courses you take with them, and a separate GPA for transferred credits (CLEPS/DANTES). Am I correct in this thinking?

If all of my tests are going to be graded and an overall GPA awarded for them, I need to score very high.

Anyway, I have thoughts all running around my head but I must say it's really hard to put them down in writing!

Thanks to anyone who tries to answer this discombobulated question!
