i'm really interested in doing a postgraduate in medicine in the US after i finish my dgree here in Scotland but i was wanting to know:

Is it easier to get into American Universities for medicine than British ones?

Would my degree still count the same as a British one to employers?

Would it be very expensive? :s i'm not sure where i would get funding as it would be my second degree.

Any help with any of my questions would be really appreciated! Thank you!

1. No -- it is not easier to get into US Medical schools. It is probably harder

2. Your degree would probably be considered a better degree to employers

3. Yes -- it would be expensive. But MDs make good money so it would be worth it.

In addition to all school expenses (tuition, fees, books & supplies, your computer and internet connections, etc), you need enough for all of your living expenses, plus your return transportation to your own country. For Americans, a 2-yr masters program costs, on average, over $100,000, including living costs. Grad students generally do not live in dorms, so you need an apartment (or share), furnishings, utilities, groceries, household expenses, health insurance & care, transportation to campus (usually a car, insurance, gas, maintenance, parking fees, etc). The universities you are considering are high-cost schools, mostly in high-cost cities. Plan on at least $3000/month for essential living expenses, plus school expenses. You're probably looking at $150,000 or so. Don't count on being eligible for any sort of employment visa after you graduate. And count on not being able to find a job if you are eligible for visa. Over 31 million Americans are looking for work, and the real unemployment rate has been 22% or higher for over a year now. Ivy League: Harvard, Brown, Yale, Princeton, Columbia.... No UC university is Ivy, so while UCLA & Berkeley are very prestigious schools, and very highly competitive to get into, they are not Ivy.
