Dude, i was gonna write back but i was waiting to hear from somebody who actually did that, transferred from Kasr el Aini to the US in his 3rd yr. Since he hasn't called me back, all i can tell u is that i know he had to study for the MCATs to get into Med school in the US. And he started from first yr med school again.
Yr other option is to go to AUC and do premed, it'll also give u a chance to decide what u want) then the mcat then to the US for med school.
Or u can go to 6th October Uni med school, which is "private" and you might be more comfortable in it than Ain Shams/Cairo atmosphere. After that u can study for the usmle's and go to the US for Residency. If u plan early, u can start Kaplan courses for the usmle in ur 3rd yr, and then by the end of imtiaz u can be ready for the residency match, and won't use too much time.
If u want engineering/pharmacy/optometry, that's another whole story all together! And that's really ur call

I would go to medical school anywhere in the world, even in China. Thats how badly I want to be a doctor.
How can you find it boring?
What school do you study in?
my brothers friend studies medicine in egypt too

hi sum1,
well i dont have information about the egypt - us thing, but i feel that i gotta tell u this,
am a med grad, now in taklif, and i hate medicine too, but i didnt have the courage to change careers earlier. wt i feel now is that am stuck! am struggling to find a sub sub sub speciality which i will like and accept as my lifetime career!
so u see, i wanna point out that u gotta think twice b4 taking any step forwards cz once ur in, it will be hard to change ur mind again. medicine is a difficult career and if u really dont like wt yr doing its gonna be a waste of time and u will be torturing yrself without any progress, cz to be successful u have to like wt ur doing to be able to work hard. plz take yr time, and do wt u REALLY want. just put in mind that this is something that u'll do for the rest of yr life!

I totally agree with tinker bell..
But SuM1, i was in the same exact situation, graduated from Kuwait, valedictorian and wanted to go into dentistry, I really screwed up big time the first year (no redoing el7amdolellah). But later on, it hit me, especially after i volunteered in the community and with the IFMSA and stuff. Now, I thank God I found out that this is what I wanted to be, and consider myself an extremely lucky person to have been blessed with this kind of career.
You should spend a long moment alone, with yourself, and try to decide what you really wanna BE and DO, and how and where you want your fingerprints to touch people's lives and your own!
Rabbena ma3ak, it's not an easy decision.

Try to go to the hospital and volunteer in the ER in your free time, that might help you focus on what these 6 long years are all about
the first 3 years are extremely boring, I agree. So I would advise that you do that, and wait to make an informed decision after you've started your rotations.
