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.

Ans: Hi,
If you can share whether she had done 10th & 12th from India it would be easier for me to suggest.

Ans: Hello. Thank you for connecting with us. It is amazing to hear that she wants to pursue a medical program in the USA. However, let me tell you that before applying to any medical school, international students should make sure they have completed a four-year bachelor's degree with all of the prerequisite classes needed for the particular medical school being applied to. The prerequisites vary as per the school, but almost all schools require the students to have studied the following science courses: biology, general chemistry, and organic chemistry. Some schools may also require that you have taken other humanities, English, mathematics, and science classes as well, so make sure you look into medical schools while you are still an undergraduate so you can choose your classes appropriately. You will also need to have completed the MCAT test, which stands for Medical College Admissions Test. The test will determine your ability to think critically, problem-solve, and write clearly, as well as measure your knowledge of various scientific concepts. A good score on the MCAT is key to getting into a good medical school. International students must complete a pre- med program, which may take 1-2 years to complete at a US university, to start a degree in medicine in the country. The student will then be required to complete a 4.5-year degree after the pre- med to be awarded an MD degree under AUAMED.
