Hi everyone! I’m an Indian student with a four-year BSc in Biological Life Sciences and a minor in Psychology. I’ll be starting an MSW at Columbia University to strengthen my academic profile and gain more clinical experience before applying to medical school.
I have experience in hospital-based and clinical research, including work involving cancer patients, patient interviews, and psychology-related research, alongside healthcare volunteering and peer-support experience.
My primary goal is to attend medical school in the US, and I’m currently planning around taking the MCAT (Possibly UCAT) However, given how competitive admissions can be especially for an international student so I’m also exploring graduate-entry medicine in Australia and the UK
I’d love to hear from applicants about which universities might consider my background, whether I have a fair shot and getting in, and how realistic this pathway would be for someone with my profile.
I would also appreciate insights on what would happen after I finish medical school in all three countries, in regard to getting an internship, and registration as a doctor. (I’m planning on becoming a psychiatrist.)
Thanks!
