<p>I am a second year medical student at faculty of medicine Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt. To be honest, I hate it here and already regretting not applying to a US premed program. I was't thinking straight at the time. I am an IGCSE graduate but I never took the SAT. My all time dream is to study medicine at Havard and I am not compromising. I just need to know what my situation is to the admission there. Am I rejected already? do I need to take the SAT to apply or can I be taken as a transfer student because as I mentioned before I am a sophomore med student. Please answer and thank you!</p>

<p>In the U.S. students spend four years (age 18-22yrs) earning an undergraduate Bachelor’s degree (in sciences, pre-med, or other subjects), then they take the MEDCAT test which is required for medical school applications, and complete the applications.</p>

<p>There will also be an english language comprehension test to pass. </p>

<p>You should email the U.S. med schools and explain the details of your situation, they will be able to give you the best answers.</p>
