Hey there. I have a question ask (heads up it's long, so thanks in advance). I m in my first year of bachelors of physiotherapy in india. I want to go to Harvard medical school. What would med schools favor more- 1. Undergrad from a US state uni(after taking transfer from india)? 2. Undergrad from india, but a masters(MMSc immunology for eg) from an Ivy like Harvard( provided I get in). If I choose transfer, I ll be limited to state unis cz of my course and fees. For masters, however, I can apply to ivies as well. *(In either case, I ll supplement my education with a post-bacc pre-med program as well)

Hi, I don't have an answer to your question unfortunately, but I am an Indian immigrant applying to med school in the States right now and I wish you the best of luck in your future! I know you will do absolutely amazing things, and I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Hi just an FYI, to go to medical school in the US you must receive a bachelors from a US university. Foreign coursework is not accepted. Doing a masters here wont help you either.

@@ayyyAYY-x2g actually it will. Its stated on every med schools website ( the big ones ) that u need either a baccalaureate or advanced degree to be eligible to apply for med school .
