<p>If I stay in the US, I’m looking to major in Emergency Health Services and UMBC happens to have the best program in the country. I’ve taken an entrance a-level type test (biology, chemistry, and physics), passed interviews and have already been accepted to a 6 year M.D. program in the Czech republic (Charles University in Prague: First Faculty of Medicine), but I’m not quite sure that I’m willing to go so far away. I visited there over the summer and it’s an amazing university and Prague is beautiful city, but 6 years in a foreign country is long time. I’ve applied to VCU as a safety school, but I already got into UMBC so I guess that doesn’t really matter. I think the deciding factor in whether I go to UMBC will be if I get an ARMY 4 year ROTC scholarship… I’m in the final selection process and next week I’m going to Johns Hopkins (the batallion for the Baltimore area) and interviewing with a professor of military science. The school in prague is DOE accredited and because it’s a professional degree program I’d be eligible for $18,500 in Stafford loans, and since tuition is only $11,500, I could afford to live decently and would graduate with less debt than most American MD graduates and would still be able to be licensed in all 50 states. the website of Charles University First Faculty is : <a href=“http://www.lf1.cuni.cz/default.asp?nLanguageID=2[/url]”>First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague; Hmm…choices</p>
