MBBS from India- Further studies at USA

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello!
NON US Resident or citizen.
My sister is doing MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) from India. She has completed 3 years, with 2.5 years still remaining. She is studying at Dayanand Medical College Ludhiana.</p>

<p>GPA: Above 70% (Considered excellent in Indian Medical Schools)
Rank: 2nd in College</p>

<p>She is looking forward for Masters known as MD in India from one of the top US universities such as Yale, Harvard, Duke, Princeton, Stanford, etc. She deserves getting into one of these schools because she is really brilliant.
I am going to UCLA this year so I don't think we will have much money left to pay for her. So, what about financial aid offers from these universities?</p>

<p>I would like to inquire about the complete procedure and standardized tests which she should take such as USMLE, etc. and her chances of getting into these colleges with and without financial aid. Kindly mention recommended scores in these tests.</p>

<p>Kindly give advice. The ones who have followed this path are also requested to give advice.
Thanks</p>

<p>Your sister should start by reading everything, and I do indeed mean everything, at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.state.gov/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.state.gov/) Then she should make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center closest to where she is living now. There are several in India. If she can’t visit in person, she should contact them by telephone and/or email. </p>

<p>When she finishes her medical training in India, she can apply for medical residencies in the US. For information on this process, she should start at [ECFMG®</a> | Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates](<a href=“http://www.ecfmg.org/]ECFMG®”>http://www.ecfmg.org/)</p>
