Hey Everyone,

I went to college in the caribbean and majored in business. After working in it for a few years however, I decided this in not what I want to do for the rest of my career--I want to pursue medicine.

With that said, would it be better I go back to undergrad and do a science bachelors, or just take the pre-med requirements? I've spoken to a few med schools and they said that anyone with an international degree should complete at least a year, preferably completing pre-reqs, in the states.

Is anyone here my situation? do you know of anyone in my situation? what did you/they do?

Thanks,

Jippyslim

Ha! As soon as I read that I saw it. Before, I had no idea.
