greetings to all ,
talk about "confusion" and "LOST" ... I need help on this ...
" I'am a highschool senior in a country i like to call kuwait, ready to finish up and go to college, early this year i started my papers in order to get to a college i can see as "good", those colleges were in the US , i applied for a major in business and i got accepted by not a bad number of colleges plus, the gov. here accepted me for a full scholarship for the business major ...
The business major I DID not like , but as a teenager PARENTS sometimes seem to think that they're right and i'm wrong ( uhh ) . With that i started a campaign against the Business major saying that i want medicine for these reasons :
a) when i was 5 years old ( i was in the states then ) i was diagnosed with diabetes. so i grew up with it, 4 shots a day etc... and till this day all doctors say i'm better than 100 %
b) i have always seen medicine as what i wanted ...end of story !
c) i love medicine & i want to help people that suffer ...
(the list goes on )
so my parents ( both PHds in business ) said ok and they're with me 100% , so medical school it is ...
ok , here i am ... today my options are :
a) the kuwaiti gov. send medical students to either ireland or the UK :
1) in ireland i'll have to do another year of highschool (leaving year) then the 1 year of foundation then premed then med. school ( 6-7 years ) my chances in a good medical school there is high, but life there SUX
2) in the UK i have to finish the IGCSE tests ( foundation year ) that's one year and then premed and then med. school .problem there : IT's harder to get accpeted in a Go0oD university ( a good placed university )
b) if i go to the states wanting a major in medicine i'll have to take premed and business as a double major thing then ( don't forget the MCAT ) medical school. if that i'll probebly go to case western reserve university ( it's not bad) problem is if i get my GPA under 3.0 i might loose the scholarship .
c) simply forget all about medical school and go for the business major... Yes , i am flexible though i love medicine
PLEASE, i know this is LONG but i'm LOST !!!
when reading ( if ) note that i'm open to any option but studying in the middle east !
thank to all ,,,,
