<p>Hey, in Brasil we have about 6 years of schooling (pre-med and med combined). Would it make sense to complete the first 5 years and then transfer to an American med school and finish your schooling there? Would it increase your chances for reputable residencies? Also, if you did transfer like I suggested, before your final year, where would you end up in Med School? Would you start in the first year? Would you have to apply to the med-school and do the MCAT?</p>
<p>If anyone knows anything about anyone who started off in Brasil and ended in the US please let me know!</p>
