I was also considering going to Poland to do a 6 year MD degree, but have been hesitant to do so due to the lack of diversity and also maybe how the life style would be like on regards to drinking and smoking and whatever. I would rather study in the Carrabiens if you got that instead of Poland because their schools are well known in the USA if you are wishing to return there. I am in Canada. Plus, the administration so far in Poland is not that great. I am having to do everything to confirm everything for myself and I think the administration every where else is nothing like this. As for India, hell yea I would go there because everything is great there medical wise and there schools teach really well to make great doctors. If you have one year though for waiting for a USA medical school, wait, and inbetween prepare other alternatives while in the USA process. Good luck...by the way does anyone know about Gdansk Medical School? And is it worth studying here if wishing to return to Canada after the six years or is it better doing BSc and trying my luck to get it here....they're quite picky on obtaining medical students and I am sure they lose at least 50% of students the country could have.
