If I get an undergrad degree in the UK can I still attend a US medical school? The UK degree would either be a Bachelors of Medicine or a BA in Biology.

Hi Physics Nerd, You will have to contact the medical schools that you are interested in attending to get the specific requirements for applications made from international students. My reason for this statement is because the US education system including medical schools are run very differently then the UK education system. Under the US system you have to have a bachelors degree with certain courses, that each school determine, is needed for admission to medical school. Along with that you will need most likely for have a first class honours degree, you will need to have a student visa, most likely you will have to take the MCAT, and you may even need to take the TOEFL exam too. This may mean for you that you will have to take 2 - 3 years of additional course work in the US at the undergraduate level before you can apply to medical school.
