Which is weird to say the least, because I completed education (ALL of it, ALL from elemetary up to high school, AND attended my prom there) except college in America, and none of that counts. If that doesn't work out, I'm applying to Australia right after the application cycle is over (More specifically, ANU, University of Melbourne, or University of Sydney, because they are VERY international friendly).”


I am in the same situation too. I was born and raised in the United States but when my single mother was posted to Hong Kong by her company, I went with her because she was all alone and lonely. I ended up graduating from a good university in Hong Kong with a very good grade.

• I wonder if there are any medical schools (MD or DO) that don't have hangups about where you get your undergraduate degree from. Anyone knows?
• The above poster mentioned three Australian schools that are international friendly. Any other schools that are international friendly?

Thank you!!!

I read in a post recently by Scottish Chap (it was a few years old) that DO schools in general are more accepting of international undergrad transcripts. You might inquire in the Premed Osteopathic Forum as to how universal this is.

Have you had your foreign trascript evaluated by WES, or a similiar service? If so, what is your equivalent GPA? Will your current undergrad schools accpt that transcript and give you some credit for it? If so, this can be a fairly fast route to getting an accelerated undergrad degree in the US.
