How hard was it to get in? I mean, what were the requirements? Also, how was your experience there? Good or bad? Out of the people who signed up, how many made it? I’m not even in high school yet, but I was just wondering… I think that the medical field is really interesting and is hoping to go to Harvard someday.
BONUS: How much is it per year to go?

I’m looking into schools that would have a good enough premed program to get me into a top medical school like Harvard or Johns Hopkins. Any ideas?

Im curious that…for example if i get into Harvard for undergraduate, then does that mean I can go into the medical program in Harvard automatically or do i have to compete for admission just like students not in Harvard?

Hi,
I am a pre-med student(first year) and I’m trying to plan ahead when it comes to taking my MCATs, researching great medical schools so that I can prepare early. I’ve lived in New York all my life and while I’ve been researching medical schools in the US(Harvard, John Hopkins,Columbia) I have also been researching Oxford. I want to branch out and maybe travel out of the country for medical school( because I am incredibly shy lol)

Is it a great medical school?
How does the government work with traveling overseas for medical school?
Is it in the same price range as Harvard or John Hopkins would be?

Please and Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer these questions for me.

I’m going to be a freshman at Harvard this fall. I want to major in some area of science because that’s my interest and I either want to become a surgeon or go into research, specifically in genetic engineering. I was thinking biology, biochemistry, or just chemistry. Would one be better/provide a better foundation or does it not make any difference, and do you have any other suggestions?
that’s true, there is no specific "pre med" major at Harvard.

It seems that even average medical schools (forget Harvard or UCSF) have acceptance rates <10 percent. Why is this? Is the AAMC trying to restrict the number of graduating doctors to keep their salaries artificially inflated? If there is such a strong need for doctors and looking at the skyrocketing healthcare costs, why don’t they increase the number of seats? Why don’t they allow importation of foreign doctors on H1 visas who are just as good as their American counterparts to reduce the wages of doctors?

I feel it is a conspiracy on part of the AAMC and the hospitals that are run like corporations to loot Americans who have no choice. Sad that this "noble" field has turned into such a racket.

So why dont they increase the number of seats?
When law schools and business schools can increase seats why cant medical schools?
Rohan, then why not allow foreign doctors on H1 visas to practice in the USA? Its a myth that foreign doctors are substandard to American doctors. In some cases they are even better than American doctors and less greedy. We need to bring down the cost of healthcare by importing foreign doctors just the way we import engineers and scientists.

I want to go to Harvard’s Medical school. so i’m gonna be finishing high school soon. i want to know if after high school do i have to go to some college and get a major/ phd something, then go to Harvard’s medical school. also tell me if you anything about how i can get into harvard. like the couses to take and what to do that will help me out. also what’s the mcat test about.

I am currently a freshman in college and I was wondering how much should I save per year for medical school, or does it depend on what school I want to go to because I want to attend either Harvard, John Hopkins, Columbia, or The University of Oxford( my number one choice)

Anyways thanks in advance for anyone able to answer my question.
I would like to practice medicine in the UK

I use to believe that all doctors had to graduate from good and well known medical schools to become a doctor in the field they want to practice. Does one have to apply to Northwestern, or John Hopkins, or even Harvard to become a doctor, or can a local medical school do the job?
