Excuse me, does anyone know the application status of MD-PhD in the United States? Or MCAT?

Detailed explanation of MD-PhD and MCAT applications in the United States:

In the United States, a doctor is an enviable profession, a symbol of knowledge, wealth and status, but to become a real doctor, you must go through a long and arduous road, and you need to invest a lot of money, time and unremitting efforts.

Medical education mechanism in the United States

There are no medical majors and colleges in the undergraduate stage in the United States, and medical schools are colleges for medical doctors. Undergraduate students can take the medical college entrance examination, provided that they take the MCAT (National Unified Examination for Medical College) when they graduate, and then apply for the medical college entrance examination. Generally speaking, students majoring in biology or chemistry are more interested in applying for medical school. It is best to take some university courses, such as biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, etc., and have certain credits.

It is difficult for China students to apply for a doctor of medicine.

1. American medical schools only recruit undergraduate graduates who have completed their undergraduate studies in the United States. In other words, it is impossible for all students who have already studied in universities in China to continue their clinical studies in American medical schools. It is impossible to be a doctor in America. So if you want to study medicine in the United States, studying medicine directly after graduating from high school is one of the ways. In addition, domestic medical students in the United States directly admit that their undergraduate medical degree is PhD, so this is the way for most domestic students to apply for medical schools in the United States.

Medical school is expensive and there are no scholarships. However, all medical students in the United States have student loans from banks, and banks are happy to lend to medical college students because medical college graduates can easily repay their loans. Theoretically, American medical schools do not accept students with F 1, so international students cannot be admitted to medical schools after graduation. There are also a few medical schools that recruit F 1 foreign students who have completed their undergraduate studies in the United States, but obviously they do not provide loans. It is very difficult to apply in this way, and only a handful of people can meet the requirements of studying for a doctor of medicine.

3.MACT can be said to be the most painful and difficult exam among all graduate entrance exams in the United States, which is more difficult than GRE, GMAT and LSAT. In addition, students who have graduated before may not apply in the first year and apply again in the second year, which makes the application difficulty unmatched by other majors, especially international students.
