Hello everyone,

I am currently living in the US and have completed my undergrdaute degree in biology at an accredited US university. Unfortunately, I am not a US citizen and am thus considered international here, so it has been very hard to get into school.

Instead I have been thinking about going to medical school in Ireland/UK, but I am so confused about what places I can apply to and how the system works. I do not have any family members in the medical field and none of my school advisors know how the system works either. I would really appreciate any help about what universities are good and I can apply or credible links to do some research.

For more context, I have already taken the MCAT and have relatively good extracurrcicular hours.

I am feeling very very lost and would genuinely appreciate any help! Thank you in advance 🙂

You’re definitely not alone-many international students look to the UK and Ireland for medical school, and your MCAT plus biology degree is a strong starting point. In the UK, most graduate-entry medicine programs require exams like the UCAT or GAMSAT rather than the MCAT, while Ireland often accepts the MCAT for graduate-entry courses. You can explore universities through official sites like UCAS (for the UK) and CAO (for Ireland), which explain requirements and application steps clearly. It might feel overwhelming now, but you already have a solid profile-just focus on checking each school’s specific entry requirements and deadlines, and you’ll start to see a clear path forward.

Hello TSlover,

UK/Ireland/ Aus are charging too much now for it to be worth it.

As a non USA resident for residency, you will have to pick likely primary care at not that great locations. Then you will have to pay back. Primary care in the USA will likely mean 4-5 years of debt repayment post residency. Now at a US medical school you can gun for above primary care easily. With UK Ireland AUS you cannot easily go above primary care.

Long story short these non USA English country medical schools are not worth it anymore given the tightening residency spots, repayment and primary care salary.

Suggest you work on getting green card status first before anything else.
