Can you get into MD with an associates degree or diploma?

just curious, if you fulfilled the course pre-reqs (lets say for unimelb md) and you do the 2nd year anatomy, physiology and biochemistry via the community access program and you finish an rmit or vic uni diploma or associate's degree, then you do well in the gamsat (say you study for it very much),can you get into the md?
basically what im asking is, does a diploma or associates degree count as an "undergraduate" degree?
cheers

If it's three years then (afaik) yes, but many of those are shorter and won't qualify

That's an interesting point. I wonder if GEMSAS et al would be hung up on the 'bachelors' definition though?
