Hey,
I'm really hoping to get some advice and direction from the wealth of knowledge on this forum. I'm an international student, just finished a BSc degree in chemistry in Canada, and had completed my GCSE's and IB diploma in Egypt. Completed the UKCAT yesterday and now I'm wondering which med schools I should be looking at whether for graduate entry or not. I'm having trouble figuring out which universities accept international students in both the graduate and regular entry programs.
