A good option?

Hello,

I was advised by someone here (to which I am grateful) to consider Jagiellonian for medical school entry. I have researched on the school and it does seem a viable option.

A bit about me: I am a Nigerian, graduated from a UK university with a first class in Biomedical Sciences, gained admission to a UK university for medicine but could not afford to go. I recently gained admission into the USA to study for an MPH in Community Health. I have not yet accepted the offer.

Please, I would appreciate if a few questions are answered for me.

1) Considering my creds, what are my prospects for admission to Jagiellonian for the 4-year English program? (I am preparing for the MCAT and hope to do it in May prior to the June application deadline for the program)
2) What are my prospects for residency placement in the US given my profile (non-citizen and an international graduate)?
3) What are my prospects for residency placement in the UK (again given my profile and given that the UK is not very foreigner-friendly where work is concerned at the moment)
4) Concerning admission, what are the minimum MCAT requirements?
5) In your personal opinion, is it wiser to go for the MPH and then apply for admission into medical schools in the US after two years?


Thanks and God bless.
