Since Romania is EU, there will be no problem from this point.
You will have to find out if your non EU-Citizenship matters.
Good luck!

Please can you check with your friends or any known who can just tell that does EU citizenship matters. Please. Please please. You know its a great step for me to study abroad being just an under grad. I don't want to take a risk.

You need EU citizenship. If you don't have EU citizenship most countries won't take you, definitely not the UK. The UK only takes UK grads, and EU grads with EU citizenship.

If you can afford it and have the grades you can apply to the UK, they will allow to to stay and work as a doctor in the UK if you do medical school there even if you aren't a citizen, but if you are an EU grad they won't take you unless you are an EU citizen as well.

So we can apply for citizenship as well ? And what will be the procedure then ?

Well you get a tier 4 visa in the UK while you are studying and during foundation years (internship). After that you get a tier 2 visa for residency/speciality training. After 5 years on the tier 2 visa you can apply for permanent residency and a year after that you can apply for UK citizenship.

All this requires that you get a place in a UK medical school though a non-UK EU school won't work.

You'll need to be an EU doctor to practice within the EU.
Finishing school in a EU country doesn't acquire you citizenship.
