Miklos,
Thank you for some of the advice. Helped me out. Yes, my father is actually the head of Orthopaedics in one of the hospitals in CA. Doesn't necessarily mean that "My daddy's going to me in" mentality, just a thought.

No, my sciences aren't weak, that's for sure. B.S. Biology, perfect marks my last year, but the prior year....not so great, but passing.

Interesting that the Hungarian schools are "brutal". Maybe that's why I've heard some good things and bad things. Charles would be great, but 6years. No, CA is not a MUST, but it'd be nice to have the option.

Poznan does sound the best route. However, I'm not going to attend unless I visit ALL the schools to where I'm applying. Just not worth the headache and blindness that many students go through.

Thanks again!
