Hello, my name is Nadia. I recently moved to the U.S. from Russia and I had completed 4 1/2 years of medical school when I left Russia.
I am now looking for a way to get into Medical School and reuse some of my education from Russia without starting all over again.
I am looking for an organization, a consultant, or someone that can point me in the right direction. Applications for the fall semester are due now and I am unsure of which way to go. I am also curious if I could apply for a Masters Degree in Biology and then proceed from there into Medical school.
I have thought of some options, but I am not sure which ones I can pursue:
1. Start from the beginning with a Bachelor?s
2. Complete a Bachelor?s degree hoping that the school will at least transfer 60 of credits.
3. Go into a Master's program if I can find a school that will accept my Bachelor's from AACRAO.
4. Find a post-baccalaureate pre-medical program. ? I don?t know much about this one.
I had my transcripts evaluated by Foreign Consultants INC, a member of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) association. Foreign Consultants INC evaluated and translated my transcripts and I received a bachelor?s degree in Medical Science with a GPA of 3.81, but I am wondering if I will be able to use the Bachelor?s that I received from AACRAO.
I have contacted some of the medical schools in the area and they tell me that they need 90 college credits to be completed in the U.S. for acceptance.
I have heard a lot about pre-medical schools and how they prepare you for medical schools. I am scared to enroll into a pre-medical college and then have the medical school not accept my Bachelors.
Thanks!
Nadia
