Studying Medicine here in the States is very different than any other place in the world. U have to earn a degree in chemistry or Biology, etc before u can apply to Medical School. U have to have a very high gpa in order to apply to medical school. U also need to take the MCAT. This is a required test for all the applicants to any of the medical schools in the US. U have to score very high in order to be invited for an interview. All top medical school applicants get an interview then the admission committe ranks the applicants that were interviewed then they select the students that will be admitted to the medical school.

After 4 years of medical school, u have to do a residency that it can take 3 to 5 years depending on what area of medicine u want to do.

Age is not a problem here in the states. I know individuals that started medical school when they were 40 y/o. They were 47 y/o when they finished all their studies.

Another issue u need to consider here in the states is that Medical School is not cheap. It’s even more expensive if u go to a private school.

I hope this info helps,

Buena suerte

Do you honestly believe Fernando Alonso made the right decision in moving to McLaren!?!?

It probably seemed like a good idea to him at the time. As Gregnir said, at the end of 2005, there was a question mark over the Regie’s long term F1 commitment, McLaren, despite losing both championships, arguably had the faster car, and Adrian Newey was still pre-Red Bull bound. If Flavio knew then that […]

It probably seemed like a good idea to him at the time. As Gregnir said, at the end of 2005, there was a question mark over the Regie’s long term F1 commitment, McLaren, despite losing both championships, arguably had the faster car, and Adrian Newey was still pre-Red Bull bound. If Flavio knew then that Renault were going to stay around in F1 for a while, and had he been consulted by Alonso, he would never have allowed him to go to McLaren. As it turned out, he had not been consulted, and Fernando made the decision by himself. Flavio appeared more than a little miffed when he found out, and was certainly not happy about Ron’s early announcement of the new deal. I’m sure Fernado’s relationship with Flavio has soured since then, and it must have been a real pain in the neck for both of them to have to see each other at work every weekend (despite the smiles and hugs and celebrations)…..that’s one thing he doesn’t have to worry about next year, I suppose.
He’s still young, and if he wants to, he can be at the top level of F1 for another 10 years. When Michael went to Ferrari in 1996, people were asking the same question. And in 96, 97, 98, 99, some non-believers thought Schumi had made a mistake changing teams. We all know what happened after that. I can’t see Alonso not winning atleast another title in the rest of his career. Who knows, maybe he’ll win a title or two at McLaren, and might end up driving for Ferrari sometime??!!
