<p>If I study medicine in Nepal, would I get good graduate school in the US? Are there any Nepalis who have been accepted to yale, harvard, cornell for masters in medicine? Like maybe a teensy weensy amount. But Is the education in Nepal worth the 50 lakhs we spend to do MBBS? If I dont get a good grad school, Im over myaan. And yes, Im from Alevels so its pretty hard to be accepted in MBBS in the first place! :( Do you suggest me to do MBBS here? If not, should I do Public Health in US then ? </p>
<p>I know a med student at Yale, who probably did his undergrad in Nepal. I’d recommend you apply to the US for undergrads, and if you still want to go for medicine, you’ll be able to go to a US med school.</p>
<p>I am in the same stage. I have been panicking a lot but now I am sorted out. What I am gonna do is: first of all get a good undergraduate degree with medicine prerequisites then if I still am interested in medicine then will try for medical school; if not then I am thinking of neuroscience. But be aware that medical school in USA for international students especially is very hard to get into and even if you get into it, which a handful (I literally mean handful) international students get into, you will have to spend around 2-4 crores to complete medicine. Scholarship for international students in medicine is kind of unheard, but not completely impossible. You will have to stand out and be exceptionally exceptionally talented and passionate even then I am not sure.</p>
<p>If you finish MBBS here then it is equivalent to med school in USA. That is in USA first you have to complete 4 years of undergraduate before medical school unlike here. What I have heard is students finish MBBS here and then go onto specialize in a certain branch of medicine or get PHD in USA.</p>
<p>I don’t know how MBBS is here, but I studied a-levels in KU and medicine there was good. I know it is difficult for a-level students to get into MBBS here but it is easier than going for medical school in USA as an international student. I don’t have much idea about public health. Well that’s a decision you have to take.</p>
<p>I read somewhere that medicine is not a career choice but a calling. Are you sure that’s your passion or are you in for the respect or due to pressure from parents or even for the earnings? What I recommend is explore yourself once you get to a good college as an undergraduate in the USA. There is more exposure there than here and see if medicine is what you really want to study. If indeed it is your passion then you will certainly find a way.</p>
<p>Well that’s what I am gonna do. Hope it helps. Best of luck! :)</p>
<p>I’ve seen the type of questions that appear in the Entrance test for MBBS in Nepal and I can assure you that +2 students don’t have it easy either. The curriculum doesn’t match at all. Only the students who work really hard after their +2 or those students who study only entrance prep books since at least the 11th grade get into med school in Nepal. If you really want to pursue med school in Nepal, studying A-levels is just an excuse to not try too hard. And from what I know, you take an undergrad bio major that qualifies as premed and give the MCAT exam to study medicine in the States. </p>
<p>Well my question is different to what you stated there
I was asking if a handful of MBBS students(who passed from Nepal) can go to US for MD in prestigious colleges?
Studying medicine in US for international students are out of topic! You cant even pay the loan after you go to Med School
And so, I was asking whether the 50lakhs spent here is worth going to a prestigious college in US or passing the USMLE test. Do most nepali MBBS students get good marks in USMLE?
and yes, I wanted to know rough estimate of Nepali students who have gone to Ivy Leagues for masters </p>
<p>@starbound Sorry about that. Digressed quite a bit there. But thought that information would be helpful. To the first question yes you can go to us for MD in US after MBBS here, source: I know doctors who did that. But not sure about prestigious grad schools or not.
“And so, I was asking whether the 50lakhs spent here is worth going to a prestigious college in US” I didn’t get you here. Do you mean passing MBBS here will be undermined in the USA? If that is the question then my previous answer should have cleared it up.
And for the last question I lack the information too so if someone with the statistics could clear this up.</p>
<p>I am not understanding your thread much but I need to weigh on in a couple of things. Post #1, no, somebody that did their UG inNepal cannot go to med school in the US. All US med schools require a US UG degree, and very few Internationals get into US medical schools. Please check your facts. </p>
<p>@hope1097 Thanks for sharing the info 
Well appreciated 
@GA2012MOM Does US require a US-undergraduate med-school degree to enroll there for masters?
so that means that MBBS students who did MBBS here are not much eligible to go there for 2 years MD?
Hope you understand my question
I’ve heard of MBBS passed out students giving USMLE for applying for US in masters. So if not US, where do most of them complete masters ( like cardiology, gynaecology)? Most of them do in Nepal, India?
And very few of them in US? </p>
