How to Get Admission in Top US Universities UG Level for Medical

One of the noblest professions in the world is that of Medicine, and no wonder the medical course is sought after globally. And in the USA, the pioneer in medical science, the demand for admission to the prestigious institutes is naturally very high. The top ten medical schools in the US are:

• Harvard University

• Johns Hopkins University

• New York University (Langone)

• Stanford University

• University of California – San Francisco

• Mayo Clinic School of Medicine

• University of Pennsylvania

• University of California – Los Angeles

• Washington University in St. Louis

• Duke University

Academic Eligibility:

SAT is a good course that helps students get a good ranking with leading medical colleges in the USA. It may be advantageous if you can join a premier SAT coaching institute in India to enhance your chances of securing admissions. The undergraduate course of medicines leading to an MD degree in the US takes 4 years. There will be a residency of varying duration say 3 to 7 years. To get a fellowship, which is almost equal to a postgraduate degree in the US, another 4 years need to be spent.

Even if you have an MBBS degree from India, the candidates should pass USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) to be eligible for the residency. (Unfortunately, even if you have a post-graduate medical degree from India, the procedure is same).

The undergraduate course in medicine is expensive, especially for foreign students. Only a small relief you have is the limited scholarship schemes available which vary between Universities 

Another course enabling you to get admission is the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test). A good MCAT score will take you through. However, the Government of India has now introduced the NEET exam as the basic criterion for anyone looking for admission for any medical course abroad.

You may have to research early on the requirements stipulated by various Universities. The respective websites should guide you properly on the dates, procedures, fees structure, scholarships, etc. very clearly.

Studying medicine in the US is extremely challenging, but you should weigh all aspects before deciding.
