transferring to a US medical college

[nehamd]

I am wondering if anyone know what is the best way to take care of this question. Does anyone know how many total US medical colleges accept transfer? Are those transferred students treated nicely or not meaning although they have done premed in US are they considered foreign or American. I am going to a medical college in India and thinking about transferring but is it really worth the time and effort.

if you read through each school's requirements, it's not likely nor it is worth it in most cases...

Go to the AAMC website all the US schools have info on their transfer policies, contact info, and links to their websites.

Transfering from India to US school is a very low possbility, IMO. Transfering for US students to other US schools is difficult. The spots are limited and many schools want a good reason beyond I don't like my school ,they want family or economic hardship reasons. I had one friend who tranfserred US schools and that's b/c his wife got residency at that schools program and they let him transfer for clinicals. That was still on a space available thing where someone failed Step 2 therefore couldn't start clinicals and the spot opened. He had interviewed and applied on a contingency basis earlier and was told of the spot like 3 weeks before the school year when the spot opened after the school recieved Step scores. he got kind of lucky.
