Hi, my daughter is studying in 11 class and she has opted for medical. After 12th she would like to go to USA for further studies. Can you please advise few best Universities in USA for medical programs? And complete process as well?
Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for getting in touch with us. Certainly, we’d be glad to assist! Although studying medicine in the United States might be beneficial, it's vital to keep in mind that the application process can be very competitive. Mentioned below are some of the best medical schools in the USA, along with a description of the application process:

Top Medical Schools in the United States:
1. Harvard University
2. Johns Hopkins University
3. Stanford University
4. University of California--San Francisco
5. University of Pennsylvania (Perelman)
6. Washington University in St. Louis
7. Duke University
8. University of California--Los Angeles (Geffen)
9. Yale University
10. Columbia University

Remember that this is not an exhaustive list, as there are several additional good medical universities in the United States.

Application Procedure:

1. Prerequisites: Before applying, your daughter must obtain a bachelor's degree (often a pre-medical or cognate degree) with prerequisite coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, and maths.

2. MCAT: The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a requirement for admission to the majority of American medical schools. It is a standardized exam that evaluates an applicant's understanding of scientific principles, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

3. Recommendation Letters: Your daughter will require outstanding letters of recommendation from professors, mentors, or professionals who can attest to her intellectual prowess and character.

4. Statement of Purpose: Typically, applicants must compose a convincing personal statement outlining their purpose to pursue a medical career, relevant experiences, and attributes that make them a viable candidate.

5. Application via AMCAS or AACOMAS: The majority of medical schools use centralized application systems: the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) for MD programs and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service (AACOMAS) for DO programs.

6. Additional Applications: Some colleges may request secondary applications with additional essays or questions after the initial application. These are used to further determine the applicant's suitability for the program.

7. Interviews: Your daughter will be invited to the schools for interviews, if chosen. This serves as an opportunity for her to learn more about the program and for the school to learn more about her.

8. Acceptance: She will have to select one institution and file the necessary paperwork if she receives acceptance offers.

9. Visa Procedure: The university's office for international students will assist your daughter with the visa application procedure when she accepts an offer.

10. Medical Licensing Exams: After completing the medical program in the United States, she will need to pass the United States Medical Licencing Examination (USMLE) in order to practise medicine.

It's important to thoroughly examine the programs and make appropriate plans because each university may have unique criteria and deadlines. Getting advice from academic advisors, mentors, or business experts might be advantageous because the application process can be complicated.

My son studing mbbs (fina year) at kalkata medical college, want to study in abroad (USA) , How is it possible with financial assistance?
Ans: Hello Naba,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing the final year of MBBS at Kolkata Medical College and wishes to further study in the USA. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that although a promising opportunity, pursuing medicine overseas, specifically in the United States involves substantial monetary constraints. Nevertheless, remember that your son could seek financial aid from numerous sources. I would recommend that he looks into the available grants or scholarships provided by private organizations or universities that aim to assist international medical students. Furthermore, although typically needing a cosigner who is a citizen or permanent resident of the US, there are student loans that are designed exclusively for foreign students attending US universities. Your son could explore these as well. Not just that, he could also engage in on-campus part-time jobs, this can be an excellent way to defray expenditures. To learn about the available possibilities and prerequisites for international students wishing to pursue medicine in the USA, I would suggest that your son conducts an extensive study and gets in touch with universities, offices offering financial assistance, as well as looks into the various scholarships offered.

My son doing bachelor of Phesiothrepy he wants his post graduation in USA and somr other countries please advise him for some good universities how to get admission and what is the process iam not as good as in financial
Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that your son is pursuing his Bachelor of Physiotherapy after which he intends pursuing his postgraduate (PG) studies in the USA. I would like to let you know that although pursuing higher studies overseas can be a fantastic opportunity, taking monetary considerations into account is crucial. As an answer to your question, mentioned below are some suggestions to locate economical options as well as the admissions procedure:

As the first step, your son should look into universities that provide affordable programs, or else, examine programs that offer monetary assistance or scholarships to overseas students. In comparison to others, a few universities might charge cheaper tuition fees. I would suggest that your son searches for public universities or ones that offer robust initiatives for financial assistance. Next, your son should make sure that the universities he is thinking about enrolling in are accredited by recognized accreditation agencies. This guarantees that educational criteria are fulfilled. If needed, your son should prepare beforehand for standardized tests viz., the GRE and TOEFL/IELTS. He can study with the help of various resources available online and in libraries. Remember that the application procedure and prerequisites differ between universities. Ensure that your son adheres to the guidelines set by each university and submits necessary documents viz., his academic marksheets, scores of standardized tests viz., the GRE, scores of English competency tests viz., the IELTS or TOEFL, personal statement, endorsement letters, as well as a CV or résumé. As part of financial planning, I would recommend that your son sets a realistic budget for pursuing higher studies abroad. He should consider the costs of living, tuition costs, medical insurance, as well as other additional expenditures. He should also look into the part-time employment opportunities for international students, and make sure that the work doesn’t hamper his studies. There are a number of scholarships available for international students that your son should look into. Scholarships based on merit or monetary support packages are offered by a number of universities. In addition, your son can explore external scholarship programs provided by governmental bodies, commercial businesses, or foundations. Besides conventional postgraduate programs, your son could look into other options viz., online programs, which may be comparatively cheaper and offer more flexibility. In order to acquire direction and assistance during the application procedure, your son can get in touch with the international student offices at the universities he’s considering. Not just that, he should speak with academic advisors or organizations with experience helping students study overseas.

Remember that there are several renowned universities in the USA and some other nations that are regarded for the robust Physiotherapy programs they offer. In the USA, your son can apply to universities viz., University of Southern California, Emory University, University of Iowa, University of Pittsburgh, and University of Delaware. In Australia, University of Sydney, University of Queensland, and University of Melbourne are well-known for their postgraduate programs in Physiotherapy. Universities viz., King's College London, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, University of Southampton, University of Nottingham, University of Birmingham, University of Manchester, and University of East Anglia in the UK are known for their postgraduate studies in Physiotherapy. Your son can consider applying to any of these universities. Your son can also apply to any of these Canadian universities viz., University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, McGill University, University of Toronto, and McMaster University that are well-regarded for their Physiotherapy postgraduate programs. These universities are well-known for their top-notch instruction, hands-on learning, and research possibilities in Physiotherapy. In order to ascertain which program best resonates with his interests, monetary situation, and professional objectives, I would recommend that your son conducts more research on each program. Besides, when selecting, he should also take into account variables viz., the location, amenities, experience of the faculty members, and alumni network.

Hi Anu Mam Im 27 yrs old ( married) and 10 yrs old daughter. Im seperated from my husband since 2 yrs due to several reasons like he is drinking and Totally addicted to it. And he is totally dependent and now today also roaming on the roads of some streets of hyd. I belongs to an orthdox family. Now the question is one backward caste man who is married age : 33 he is interested in me and proposed me to a marriage after knowing all my past and saying that he accepts my child too. And the thing is he said a lie to me at first that he is unmarried and even though i had a good impression on him about the way he behaves with me he even treat me in a very polite manner. He says he loves me even though i too had a good impression but the things are the castes and can we both settle down with a marriage can we be happy or he is only trying to convince me to get him a wife to care care of him or only for his parents, he always talks about his own sister and also the office colleagues calls them sister and get emotional about them those who left the office. And he cries a lot which i dont trust on him and the face i see him that was not an real cry that looks like an act which i dont like in him. May he is acting ? Or really loving me, ge cares alot i feel like he is over reacting
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
If you are in doubt, then it's highly likely that he is putting on an act. Go with your intuition and hey hey, you said that he is married and so are you...You do realize that you just can't go ahead and marry while you are already to other people, right?
Focus on what's happening in your life; you obviously have to do something about it...Other relationships can wait!

All the best!

Hello Ms Anu, I am a 42yr female..married since 14 yrs and have 10yr old son . I am highly qualified and financially independent. My marriage was a arranged one.. but in these 14 yrs.. I never experienced love or and attachment from my husband's side. He is a family man.. there is no other woman involved..He loves his parents and his two sisters immensely... but always treats me as a option. I feel humiliated and lonely and he has short temper when i talk about this issue... so basically I don't discuss... but that is no solution... I am suffering and unhappy. What should I do?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
A few married men can be more focused on the women on their side of the family; it becomes easy to express love, care and attention to them as he has grown with them.
A wife happens to be someone that he is yet to understand. It requires effort to make a marriage work; your husband finds it convenient to take the easy way out and 'hang out' with his family.
So, here you take the lead and start. Start not by bringing forth your complaints as this is going to push him further to them which is going to annoy you BUT by inviting him to be with you. A lot of work, I get it...but the bottom line: that's what you want, right?
Plan dates evenings, take short vacations together, work-out together...the key is to establish a connection which never had its chance in the first place...So, give your best shot! Most times actions speak louder than words ever can...

All the best!
