[tennisball80]

If you enroll from pre-med 1, I think I can get my MD degree in 6 years ?

4 years for undergrad+basic science and 2 years for clinical rotaion ?

Am I getting the right idea ? :rolleyes:

Thanks for your reply.

So then I guess it would be 7 years then since clinical rotation is right after MS2 ? :rolleyes:

Correct, 7 years-3 years Pre-Med/Vet then 4 years of med/vet.

Are you thinking of applying?

[WannaBdoc25]

what do they mean by dual degree?

[jaywalk81]

you get 2 degrees. a B.S. and a M.D.

Oh, I didnt realize this included under grad. This is the program I am interested in. I am considering finishing my bachelors of managment in the states and then transfering into the second year. My grades are very bad, Im hoping that if I do stellar in my last 15 credits and then do very well in my sciences that they will take me.

(they took me after all, lol! Let's just say that no one really goes to the university I attended in order to obtain 5 star grades ;) )

You might have a surprise-they may take you in to the third year.

Have you taken O Chem and Physics? Those classes I would say you'd be better off taking in the US, especially if you could do them in a summer program or on-line.
