<p>Hello!
To begin with, I am a greek student at physics department. You are probably not familiar with the greek educational system. All I have to say is that I just happened to study Physics.It’s nothing close to what I want to become. I want to be a doctor. I am at my second year in university and I would like to apply in an american college, since I am not ready to go again through the Panhellenics exams(the only way to get into a university,here,in Greece)Wherever, I asked about colleges, people didn’t know or just made me even more confused.
I would like to know the exact way I have to apply for a college and also if there are any ideas about colleges that are not too expensive for foreigners. I think I tried too hard to convience myself that physics is good for me but I really can’t take it anymore.If someone can help, I would be thankful. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance,
Tonia</p>

<p>Well I really dont know if any college would allow you to transfer from a physics major to Bio/Medical major....</p>

<p>^ They will, I think, and they will give you transfer credits for the courses you've taken in Greece. </p>

<p>Are you aware that you have to do four years of "pre-med" before going to medical school in the US? Also, international students are strongly discouraged not to apply to medical school in the US (it's not impossible, though). What kind of a college are you looking at? It's not easy to recommend colleges if you just want to go to the US, you have to give us more details.</p>

<p>So, why exactly did you select Physics in the first place ??</p>
