My other option is to get my Bachelor’s degree in the UK, since tuition fees would be much lower for me there. However, since I have not taken my final exams yet (IB), offers from UK are conditional. My first choice in the UK is Cambridge, but their condition is so high that I cannot really “plan” to attend until I know my results for sure. Also, studying outside the US would make it even more difficult to get into an American med school, wouldn’t it? For one, I don’t think I could meet the course requirements (i.e. one year each of biology, physics, organic and inorganic chemistry, etc.) because British programs are usually much more focused on a specific track.



I know a student who entered Cambridge in a medical program. (Christ College, I believe.) My understanding is that she will be a doctor by age 26. I can’t imagine why you would want to spend enormous sums of money and take a chance on the American med school application process if you could go to a medical program at Cambridge.
