advice on where to apply?

[maverick3934]

Hi there, been scouring your forums for nearly 2 years. I am missing some college science classes. I don't want to finish the prereqs in the states. I've considered the 5 year program at the atlantic bridge in ireland. Can you please recommend a few other top programs to apply to. I'm not concerned about saving money or anything as I'd be taking loans anyway. I just want to know the best schools with 5 year programs if you don't have all the prereqs.

Thank you!

5-year programs are the exception -- while there are some, most of the overseas medical schools (especially in Europe) are 6 years.

Any medical school in Ireland or the UK (5 or 6 years)
Jagiellonian (6 years)
Charles First Faculty (6 years)
Semmelweis (6 years)

There are other English options in the Philippines and Australia, as well.

Buuuut you're going to end up taking those classes anyway. You either take them as pre-reqs in the North American medical school format, or you take them in the first two years of the 5/6-year format.

Also, you need to double check on loan availability for European programs, as some of them have lost their loan eligibility recently.

Some Caribbean med schools have pre-med programs too like St George, AUA, MUA.
