Inquiring about a transfer to Princeton/Johns Hopkins??

<p>I was wondering about the probability of transferring to either of them.</p>

<p>Considering that I am:
*International.
*Already in Medical school, heading to the 2nd year.
*Note that, where I am, the system goes like this, there are no 3 years for Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. There are 6 years pure Medicine. And then 1 year for practice under supervision.
*Where I am is awful.</p>

<p>Also note that JHU did send me an e-mail asking me to consider applying, back when I was a high school junior.</p>

<p>Thank You.</p>

<p>Princeton does not accept transfers … [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/faq/eligibility/]Eligibility | Princeton”&gt;http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/faq/eligibility/]Eligibility | Princeton</a> University<a href=“about%20the%203rd%20or%204th%20question%20down”>/url</a>.</p>

<p>In the US we do not start medical school as undergraduates. There is not even a pre-med major … it is a set of courses that can be taken while pursuing virtually any major. A lot of pre-med types major in chemistry or biology to maximize the number of courses that cover both major and pre-med requirements.</p>

<p>So your question is really about transferring to JHU as a pre-med with a major TBD.</p>

<p>OP I would stick it out if you’re already in med school. If you come to the U.S. you have to get through four years of undergrad with a stellar transcript and then go through the entire med school application process…</p>

<p>I also don’t think you can apply directly to US med schools as they don’t have a very high opinion of international medical students / degree holders.</p>

<p>Does your last sentence include those med schools in the UK?!</p>
