Hey everyone,
I'm a D4 student in Lebanon looking into applying to the States as soon as I graduate.
I've done a bit of research and the process won't be easy. So i decided to start preparing beforehand and ordered some books to help me prepare for the NBDE. (Never too early for that lol)
Here are some information about me that might be useful for one of the processes, whether it be the visa or the application to a school there.
I already have a bachelor in biochemistry.
I'm fluent in 4 languages.
My average 13.6/20 which is relatively considered good given that the highest average revolves around 14/20 more or less.
I'm planning on staying in the States.
I just thought that it would be a good idea to start planning a couple of years ahead than to wait for the last minute.
My family won't be able to fully support me financially so I'm going to have to look into scholarships (if international students are eligible), financial aids and loans.
Now my question is, is it a better idea if I go do my postgraduate studies there and then take the board exams and get licensed?
And can someone who has been in my shoes, walk me through the entire process? From leaving my home country, to board exams and getting settled. I know this is a lot to ask but I'm really nervous about this entire endeavor.
Thank you all very much!
