Medical school in the UK


Medical school in the UK?
Hi I am currently a student in the US, I will be graduating next year with a BSc in Biology, I just found out today that I will have to attend a medical school in the Caribbean or the Uk because we are a British territory and I am on government scholarship here in the US. I want to know if I should take the MCATs still or shwt, where do I begin? Please help me I really need to figure this out and get plans in place. Thank you guys so much.

Well, you're in a bit of a tangle as far as the UK goes - medicine in the UK is an undergraduate degree, but you've already done your undergraduate degree.

MCATs most definitely. Best step is to get a UCAS form or similar (different from the US?) and get that filed, then you can go and apply to universities like Cambridge/Oxford/Imperial College/Kings. Do you have a group that help you make these choices? You can try Connexions as they are a company in the UK that provide help and information for applying and finding what you want to do in later life.
