Studying Medicine in the UK

[degabas]

To anyone that can help, please do

Hi, I am a 26 year old American graduate with a Bachelor's degree with Honors who is very interested in studying in the UK for my US equivalent of a MD degree, I believe the UK term is MBBS or MBCHB. Honestly, I am not sure. My interest is due to the fact my father was born and raised in Cambridge and I still have family in Edinburgh and London. I am very unfamiliar with the UK terms and how to compare my American coursework and see if I would qualify for your school. In the US, I graduated with a 3.6 GPA cumulative which is an A average. Furthermore, my coursework includes: 1/2 years of Biology, Zoology, Microbiology, Cell Biology, Histology, Genetics and 1 year of Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics and 1/2 year of Calculus. Any advice you might have as to my competitiveness at a UK school. I really appreciate any advice

Hiya,

I'm not sure I could answer your questions, because i don't know much about the entry for international students for Medicine in the UK.

You could try posting your query in the UK equivalent of this BB @:

The board is hosted by Barts and the London, which is a medical school but all sorts of people, from all different Uni's post there as well as sixth formers (who are in the process of appying) like myself.
They're all really friendly people and will do their best to help ya!!

At the moment the board is down, so you won't be able to access it, but keep trying and hopefully it should be fixed in a week or so!!

Hope to bump into ya there someday!!
Good luck with your application
