I don't want to discourage you, but it is extremely difficult to get admission to US medical schools, and studying medicine in the US is the most expensive affair. The tuition fee itself is around 40,000$ per year apart from your living expenses.


To apply to medical schools in the US, you must have completed 4 four-year bachelor's degrees or pre-medical courses in biology, chemistry along other science subjects. Some universities may ask for humanities, English, and maths as well. The pre-requisite for admission to US medical schools is you must have your bachelor's degree in the US. Or at least the last 2 years of your bachelor's in the US. And they have to pass the MCAT, which is a medical entrance test in the US.


International students have to spend 45,000 $ for tuition fees, 15,000$ for food and stay, 5000 for health insurance, and 7000 for transportation. This means approximately it will cost 3,00,000$ to complete the 4-year medical course.

There is a limited number of scholarships only available from the US federal government. If you get a good score in the USMLE course, you have a chance to get a scholarship. 1000 international students get scholarships up to the amount of 2 million US $ from the US government every year. Otherwise, you have to take an education loan only.

Another way is to apply for MBBS in the Caribbean islands. Study there for the first 4 trimesters till the USMLE 1 exam. Then study the remaining course in US medical schools with a scholarship. Most Indians do that only.
