I was wondering whether or not to transfer to India and complete my medical education there. I know its faster and wanted to explore my options. I am very motivated to become a doctor, but would prefer the quicker route.
Right now, I have a 4.0 and am involved in many extracurriculars. Most likely (at this pace), if I continued my education in America, I would probably get accepted into a med school when I apply. However, I really don't want to endure 8 more years of this whereas in India I can finish this in 3-4 years and come back.
India skips undergrad so I would just be able to go into "medical school" there directly (correct me if I'm wrong). I am almost done with my freshman year of undergrad here in the US. If I go to India this summer, would I be placed with rising 2nd year students in India colleges, or would I have to start from the beginning there?
Has anyone else considered going elsewhere to complete their classes/accelerate the process?
