Indian Students Studying Overseas ... why ?

[app_engine]

Nerd,
Actually more students go to Australia it seems for bachelors (I've read somewhere during the assault on Indian students controversy) and I don't think that many come to USA anyways for bachelor's (as in the case of master's).

Honestly, I didn't seriously think about USA when posting that

As a person who attends a private medical college in India....Most NRI Students come to India to study because it's a lot faster to get a Degree in the Medical Field in India since there are no requirements for Premed courses! Not because its "Safe" If anything, it's more dangerous to be here if u don't know what ur doing. And not because it's cheap, it turns out to be the same either way, that's how much these "Private" colleges here charge.

Is that more expensive than getting an MD form Harvard or Vanderbilit or scripps or Washu?

I am sure it is cheap!

I am sure it is easy to get a seat there compared to the schools I have mentioned here!

Surya,

An unrelated question. I was told by someone that people who get their medical degrees outside the USA should not practise in the USA,. Is this true?

BTW Reguarding Safety: From What?

Getting Laid? It isn't rocket science to get laid in India.

Drugs? Maybe the hard stuff like Coke, Acid etc are hard to find here, but Marijuana, the drug which most college students experiment with in their College Years in America, is extremely easy to find in India! Surprisingly easy! I met the father of this kid who's gonna join 1st year starting July, and he tells me and my friends "U guys are in India.... make sure you stay away from Marijuana."

I SHlT U NOT! :nothatway: My frnds and I were like WTF?

They need to go through residency again and pass an "MD-equivalent" test before that. Our MBBS is not equivalent to an MD they earn here I believe!

I'm Sure Ur Wrong! Most Med Schools charge abt the same: (This is when I joined, it keeps increasing every year) 125K US Dollars, (and that's the advertised amount! ), everyone knows the Cell Phone Scandal which happened a few months ago regarding this, so it ends up being even more... After Finishing the course here, there are other courses that ppl usually take to get ready for the the Proficiency Exams like USMLE or NBDE etc etc So summing everything up, it comes out to be quite similar.

It's wokay, neenge nadathunge!

Nope! There are a couple very hard exams that we have to write and a couple short courses after we get back, those are xtreamly competitive, after that we can practice.

Why would u compare a school like Harvard to begin with?
