I am a new poster so please don't be angry with me for asking this question. 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. After I returned back to America, I worked for a few years to pay off family debts. Later I finished my pre-med courses at a community college and a local state school.
Now deans of the two MD schools in my state e-mailed me that I don't have 90 credits in America, so I am not eligible to their medical school. There are no other medical schools in my state.
Unfortunately the osteopathic schools I checked also seem to want a "regionally accredited" university. Pretty sure they mean an American degree.
- What can I do now? What are my options other than spending more time accumulating the 90 credits?
- Can I relocate to some other state where the state medical schools don't have hangups about 90 credits? What states would these be?
- Based on my bachelor's degree from overseas (and the pre-med courses from within the U.S.), do you think I could get a bachelor's degree in the United States with very minimal coursework? How quickly do you think I could get a B.S. degree? Please help because my MCAT score is getting older every day.
Thank you all,
