It's a very expensive medical school. I just wanted to write something in here since someone started the Albany thread.

$40, 000 U.S. dollars per year. They accept a couple of internationals every year but you need an undergraduate degree from the U.S. before applying and you must take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test; 6-hour exam in college chemistry, biology, physics, and verbal reasoning).

They only consider U.S. and Canadian undergraduate degrees for medical school entry. With a degree from elsewhere, you must first study for 2-3 year in the U.S. and gain 60-90 credits to show you can handle their system.

All U.S. medical schools. Try Canada; one or two schools count international undergraduate degrees as their own equivalent with the appropriate evaulation from an international credentialing agency. Impartial advice urges you to stay in the U.K. if you gain entry there.

Are you a student at AMC? If so do you have any other thoughts about the school? I'm applying and have an interview scheduled.
