What is the Early Assurance Program?
A. Under this program, four of the 76 seats in the Brody School of Medicine entering class are reserved (four years in advance) for Merit Scholars entering ECU as freshmen. Students who are awarded a position in this program must maintain certain academic standards and participate in various activities to remain eligible for their seat in the entering class. An appropriate number of alternate candidates are also selected and encouraged to participate in program activities.
