I want to go to medical school in the UK...?
I do not have my bachelor's degree, is that okay? And also, after I finish medical school there, I want to go back to the US. Is that a bad idea then? What do I have to do to work as a doctor in the US if I have a UK education? What requirements do I need to go to the UK for an education? A visa, passport...and what else? Please help. Thank you :)

There's no point in doing all of that if you just plan to come back and practice in the US. Studying medicine in the UK does not require a college degree. The students apply and enroll to study medicine in a university after high school(from which they finish around the age of 16) and after taking A levels. Medicine is an undergraduate degree over there. It will be far more expensive for an international student and I don't see the point in you doing that. You will probably still have to take the USMLE(and perhaps do over a few years of med school) when you return to the US.

the education in britain is of a better quality, for instance a masters degree in america is only a bachelors in england.
2 :
maybe you could try the exchange student Program
3 :
College is nearly ten times as expensive and the level of the eduation fluctuates quite a lot around the country. The US spends the most per student of any developed country, but performs well below average. You should find a Sixth Form somewhere else in the UK or go to a Sixth Form college (you can get a regular stipend from the government for studying at A-Level). If you go to an American high school, you will also have to be an American citizen, and learn an entirely new curriculum in time for the standardised SATs.
4 :
You won't be able to travel on your own by UK law till you're 18. You can always stay on at Sixth Form at school if you wish and besides, college to the US is university to us in the UK so you're not really going to college because college is for adults and at 16 you are a child so you will not be able to take out a student loan.

You can't really compare the two systems, but:- Schools go from year R (age 4) the year 1 to 11 (age 5 to 16) - changing schools after years 2 and 6. Some schools go on to "A levels" (ages 17 - 18) Otherwise there is college for 1st year; 2nd year and possible 3rd year depending on how long the course is (ages 17 and 18 + possibly 19). University is freshers; 2nd year; 3rd year; post grad year 1, year 2 etc, but exact expressions vary from university to univesity.

PRIMARY SCHOOL Reception - aged 4/5 Year 1 - aged 5/6 Year 2 - aged 6/7 Year 3 - aged 7/8 Year 4 - aged 8/9 Year 5 - aged 9/10 Year 6 - aged 10/11 SECONDARY SCHOOL Year 7 - aged 11/12 Year 8 - aged 12/13 Year 9 - aged 13/14 Year 10 - aged 14/15 Year 11 aged 15/16 ******END OF COMPULSARY EDUCATION***** SIXTH FORM COLLEGE Year 12 - aged 16/17 Year 13 - aged 17/18 Then it is University, there are no specific age to start (though it is usually 18 or 19 years old) and there are no universal names for each year as obviously depending on what you are reading to what level, you are there for different lengths of time *Edit* Lisa is correct, the system above is the English one, the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish systems differ slightly, I am afraid I can't shed any light on those ones as I have not been educated in any other country in the UK besides England

The UK* doesn't have one educational system, you need to be more specific. The answers above are referring to the English educational system. *The UK is made up from four countries; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which have different systems.

Can I get a scholarship in a UK boarding school for A-levels
Can I get a scholarship in a UK boarding school for A-levels?
I am a UK citizen studying at a British international school in Malaysia. I'm currently starting year 11 and am thinking about doing my A-levels back in the UK as firstly, although the A-level standard in my school is decent, it isn't as broad or as well taught as it probably is in the UK. Secondly, a most of my friends are leaving for boarding schools in the UK after GCSEs. I would love to study in the UK, but as a have 3 siblings and my Dad's company doesn't pay for schooling my parents can't afford to pay the school fees of boarding schools in the UK. They already struggle to pay for the school I am currently in. I have always been a bright student with good grades in the top set for subjects, but I just wonder what I could do to get a scholarship if possible. I am undertaking 11 GCSEs and I think if I really try I could get an A or A* for all of them. Tanks for any positive replies in advance!

British education has gone down in the last ten years. I´d stay where you are, the Brits are NOT respected on their education with the exception of a few universities. Stay where you are, keep making good grades and apply for a scholarship to a Brit university.

You didn't make it clear whether you looked at private schools or state schools. If private ones, yes, they're very expensive. But there are some good state boarding schools, i.e. they are not private and therefore you don't pay tuition fees, you only have to pay for boarding fees (which is mostly something like £6000 a year). My sister went to one for her A-levels. I believe there may be help for boarding fees if you earn less than a certain amount also. This is the website for the state boarding school association. http://http:www.sbsa.org.uk They have contact information for all of the schools and the places they have for next year. Some only have a very small number of boarding places, other have larger ones. But you would need to have someone who can act as a guardian for you in the UK, and possibly somewhere to stay for the shorter holidays (but then, you'd need that for other schools). You could also contact private schools individually and ask if they have any scholarships available for sixth form students-that's the only way you'll find out if there are any.
