Should I apply to the US if I want to do medicine?I have managed to get a good set of GCSE results this year and am seriously considering medicine in either the UK or US. I was wondering whether it is actually worth applying to do medicine in the US because I know it takes longer and you have to sit SATs etc.
I am really only considering applying to the US as a back up just in case I don't get into a uni in the UK. I am currently studying for UKCAT AND BMAT. I have quite a few extra curricular activities(e.g. rowing, flute, dofe, regular work experience, extra clubs to gain brownie points!)
I'm already doing a lot and I'd be even busier if I were to prepare for SATs and stuff. I just want advice on whether it is actually worth putting all the effort in uni applications and SATs and ACTs for uni's that are back ups????

Re: Should I apply to the US if I want to do medicine?no because can only do medicine as a graduate in america, and doing your undergrad + graduate in america would be expensive unless you can get a scholarship or your rich(Original post by clcgirl09)
