international student wants to go to a medical school in UK w/ unusual conditions

sorry for the title of this thread; maybe it doesn't quite make sense

I am an international student currently in my 2nd year in a US university. I am an international student in the US as well (but I'd gone to high school in this country). So basically in 2 years, I will graduate with a degree in Biochemistry.

However, I am very interested in going to a medical school in the UK. Is it even possible at all that the medical schools will let a student who has partially completed undergraduate courses in another university in a foreign country to get into their programs?

Due to various personal reasons, I'd rather transfer to a medical school in the UK or even start over as an undergraduate freshman than finishing my Biochemistry degree first.

I will surely email each medical school about it, but I just want to get a heads up here.

Hi, and welcome to TSR
This link may help you to identify med schools that may have reservations... http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Applying_for_Medicine_Whilst_on_a_Different_Course
But given the international dimension, you may still have to check with the individual med schools as to whether their policies would apply to you.
HTH, and good luck!
