US MD schools require a minimum number of credits (including all pre-med admission requirements) to be completed at a US or Canadian college or university. Foreign coursework/degrees will not fulfill admission requirements.

Pre-med admissions requirements include: gen chem, ochem, biochem, bio, physics, calc, stats, English, psych and sociology. Specific schools may have additional requirements. Undergrad major has no effect on one’s potential to be accepted to med school.

Neither O or A level certficates are required (or even considered).

Even for internationals who have completed their undergrad education in the US, admission to US med schools is extremely competitive with only about 100-200 being admitted in a given year to all US med schools combined. (And most of those 200 are Canadian.)

Nutrition classes are not considered science classes for the purposes of computing a science GPA for med school admission.
