hey man, i would say the upsides to having completed a bsc is that the material for the first couple of years wont come as such a shock to you. You can get a feel for the work load and the educational system, while having a foundation in the material. Your study habits should also help make your adjustment to a new country easier, and pretty much you would be one step ahead of all the students coming straight out of highschool. The down sides to this is time. I mean if it doesnt bother you than you are kinda repeating a couple years and adding around 2 years to your ultimate goal of becoming a doctor, then there are no downsides, but to some it may feel as their university education was kinda wasted.

I personally have completed a BSC in canada, and have been accepted to study in hungary. I dont feel my previous education was a waste, rather than a preparation. Nothing but experience can prepare you for the calibur of school that is medicine, and if i were to think back to when i was fresh out of highschool, trying to apply to med school....no lie, i would straight fail out...which prolly accounts for such high fail rates in europe.


hope this makes sense
