I'm willing to study medicine in the USA, I have a high school degree from Egypt, I'm going to take the mcat exam and some pre-medicine courses, should I take the SAT exam as well?

Before attending medical school, you will need a 4-year degree from an accredited college or university. So yes, taking the SAT is a good start. As for an undergraduate degree, I would recommend something in biological sciences. It would be good preparation for a medical program.

You're going to have to take a lot of math, especially since you like math. \n\nCommunity college credit is easily trasnferred--the more classes you get out of the way, the more you can spend on the fun classes. \n\nYou may want to take physics 2--just to prove to yourself that you can pass it. Remember: all these science classes will be required for your medical degree. \n\nWhatever you do--have fun! As long as you get a good score on your SAT/ACT, you'll get into any college you want. :-)\n\nGood luck!\n\nAs to how much work you can handle--don't stretch yourself too far. You need those good grades!

The term you should be using is "pre-med curriculum".  Go to the websites of colleges you may be interested in attending and put in those words in their search engine.  All med schools have pretty much the same pre-requisites, and all the colleges can fulfill those with a pre-med course of study.\n\nIf you use a general search engine, pay attention only to those sites with .edu at the end.

you need the TOEFL and the SAT and possibly the ACT (for southern schools) to study in the US. SAT is no use for any other country, it's an american thing.\n\nAfter you got a good score on the SAT, you need to send that with your high-school grades + other stuff like essays and whatnot to the Univs of your choice. If they accept you, they will give you a form that will allow you to go apply for a student visa.\n\nBut remember - University is ridiculously expensive in the States. In your country you barely pay anything, in the cheapest univs of USA you have to pay about 10,000 US$ per year. Think about that.

Yes you can, but you will also need to take the SAT's and provide your scores to the college of your choice.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT\n\nKõikke head.

For most medical schools, you need a bachelors degree.  It does not matter what your degree is in, as long as you have 2 semesters of general chemistry, 2 semesters of organic chemistry, 2 semesters of biology, and 2 semesters of physics.  You usally take the MCAT in the spring of your junior year of college.  If you plan to go to med school, getting a BSN would be pointless unless you wanted to work for several years first.  There are a VERY small number of accelerated programs that allow high school grads to enter.

You need to have at a bare minimum, the basic sciences to be prepared for the MCAT.  Often times, med schools have their own requirement for admission in regards to the science classes that need to be completed before admission.  The usual is General Chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, Physics 1 and 2, and Biology 1 and 2.  The biology 1 and 2 may have different names depending on the institution you attend.  I would also suggest having a human physiology course before taking the exam.  Some medical schools also require a course in Biochemistry before admission.  I had completed my degree in Molecular Biology before taking the exam, so I was pretty well prepared.  I would also suggest getting some review books such as Princeton or Kaplan books, you may or may not benefit from the review course.  You also need to get involved with volunteering (at a hospital/with a doc) and a pre-med organization at your university.  The organization will be able to provide you with more information.  You may also have an advisor at you school that focuses on pre-med students, another important resource.  Finally, make absolutely, positively sure that this is what you want to do because it is a long road through med school and residency training (7 more years for you if you want to be a Pediatrician).  If you end up going to a private med school you will be in debt to your eyeballs by the time you finish, something else to keep in mind.  If you are wondering whether or not I would do it again, the answer is yes, but I would go to a different medical school (don't go to FSU)!

It depends. If you are looking for an undergraduate degree, take the SAT /maybe SAT II as well/ and the TOEFL. Search the internet and you'll find the SAT and TOEFL pages. \nAlso, if you do a good search not only will you find free SAT tests but also Universities and Colleges that offer full scholarships to international students.\nAsk more if you need further info - I've been there, taken the exams, been offered admission and presidential scholarships - it's easy. The whole process takes less than a year - if you start preparing for the exams in the summer, by end January you will have the results from the colleges you chose to apply to.\nIf you are American, you should know better:)

This is a big misconception. You do not have to major in a science to go to medical school. If interested in medical school, you do have to take a list of science and math classes in undergrad, such as biology, physiology, anatomy, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, calculus, to name a few, but it is not required that you earn a degree in a science. I believe it is helpful, because you are already taking the required science classes to fulfill the degree and medical school requirement, so it overlaps, which is a benefit. Also, it gets you in the habit of doing intense study, which you will undoubtedly do in medical school, and it prepares you for the MCAT as well. The sciences and math are a good, solid foundation for medical school. I hope this helps. Good luck!

You nee to get your transcript and translate them.\nGo a check a web for the MCAT test.\nYou need to go into AMCAS and get information with them\nNothing is impossible when you believe

For the USA:\n\nFirst and foremost, you must work on your English.  You mean, "How can I get admitted to medical school in the U.S. or Europe?"\n\nU.S. programs require something called the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).  You need to score well on this test.\n\nAnother test is the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test).\n\nYou will also need to meet certain academic requirements, such as having sufficient biology, chemistry, physics, antatomy, phsyiology, etc entry coursework completed as an undergraduate student.\n\nYou will also need to demonstrate the economic ability to sustain yourself in the U.S..  This may include scholarships and loans, but these are unlikely because so many foreign students want this as well!  You will need to be an excellent student if you want a scholarship!\n\nThere may be independent scholarships that might be found at places like www.fastweb.com - BUT most scholarships will be directly through the school.  Ask the admissions officers.

Ask your school counselor, how you should prepare, academically, to become a pre-med student, and which medical school in Canada you should attend.\n\nBest of luck in your studies.

you don't necessarily have to go to a prestigous university, however u should get into a decent university. Remmber med shool is a totally different ball game. Its very competetive. Where ever u go, make sure you have AT LEAST A 3.7 GPA, and good MCAT. \nIf you really want to be doctor, then go to a communnity college. (2years) Get a 3.8 GPA. then transfer as a junior to a semi-prestigous university, ie. UCLA, Penn State, SUNY, or any state universtiy. Finish with a 3.7. Apply to Med School\nAlso, while in college pre-med, have a back-up major, ie biomedical engineering, nursing, doctor assisant, teaching. Also have tons of community services, ie. volenteer at the hospital. Oh a good thing to do is become an EMT while doing pre-med. Have great refrences, and make sure u STUDY. No joke. more than 50% of pre-med applicants don't get admisstion. Also you might want to even consdireding getting a masters before u get into med school. thats 6 year of PRE-med. then another 4 years of med school, then another 3 years of resedency then a few more years of internship. Be realistic (Can you handle all that, no offense, just trying to help)

Pre-Med is a difficult path through college. It is becoming more and more competitive as more and more people pursue this line of schooling. Of course, doctors are essential in today's world, but at the same time, this country is experiencing a shortage of science and math students. If you truly want to do both, you should probably talk to a counselor at your college. In either case, you are going to need to be quite motivated, for both paths that you wish to take are going to require a great deal of effort and work.

You asked a lot of questions, so I'll try to answer them all:\n\nFirst, the MCAT is just a test required for entry into medical school... if you are already in medical school and are coming to the US for residency, you don't have to worry about it.\n\nThe USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) is required for medical licensure.  It is broken up into 3 steps.  Generally, US medical students take Step 1 (basic science knowledge) after their 2nd year of medical school, Step 2 (clinical knowledge & mostly diagnosis-focused) after their 3rd year of medical school, and Step 3 (clinical knowledge & mostly managment-focused) after their first year of residency.  Step 2 is broken into 2 sections- Clinical Knowledge (multiple choice on computer) and Clinical Skills (12 standardized patients in an office setting).\n\nIf you are going to be graduating from medical school in India, and then applying for residency here in the US, you will take both Step1 & Step2 before applying (you don't have to schedule them with any time between, although it would probably be helpful to keep a month between for studying).  You don't have to worry about Step 3 until you start residency.\n\nLike stated by the other answerer, go to usmle.org to apply.  All of the tests are very expensive, around $500 each, but the exact prices will be on that website.  The tests are conducted at Prometric Testing facilities, and there are so many of these that you won't have to travel far to get to one from any US location.  The Step 2 Clinical Skills, however, is only located in 5 cities in the US so you have to schedule this one a few months ahead of time to be assured you get the location & date you want.  Basically, for all of them, you apply at usmle.org and they mail you a scheduling permit after 2-4wks that you then use to schedule your test online.\n\nNow, about preparing- there are many Review books for preparation.  The most popular ones are "First Aid for the USMLE" and the "Step Up" series.  Kaplan is a very popular test preparation company and they offer an online question bank that most people subscribe to for a month or two for practice questions.  Find more information about that at www.kaplan.com .  Also, many foreign medical graduates take the 8 week Kaplan Review courses for the USMLE since they generally have to get a much higher score than US grads to get the same residency spots.  The courses are very expensive ($3,000-$5,000), but look on their website for all of that information.  You can usually get boot-leg copies of the videos of the lectures they give from e-bay for less than $100.\n\nBasically, there is a lot of information you are asking about and I think you would benefit from looking around different medical message boards such as www.prep4usmle.com or studentdoctor.net\n\nGood Luck!
