I assume you're an international student? It's hard to say what your options are without knowing your class rank and MCAT score. If you're top 10% of your class and pull out a 32+ on the MCAT, I'd imagine you're probably in decent shape for a U.S. acceptance. I really don't know too much about what the process is like for internationals, though, so get more opinions.

yes, i am an international student and should be top 10% in my class.

Thanks MilkmanAl.

according to some information i read: i know that out of state us-citizens have a lower priority of entering the medical school, and even a lower priority is given to international student. Is that true?

If it is so..Britain or Ireland, which one is better?

Yes, it's true that international applicants often have to meet higher standards than U.S. residents. It seems like all international applicants get an equal shake, but Canadians might get a slight advantage. In other words, Britain and Ireland are probably on equal footing.
