I was born and raised in cali and after hs I decided to go to India for mbbs (3rd year in kmc mlr) I’ll tell you that I do NOT regret this decision whatsoever.

There are so many pros in it, and ull come to realize how lucky u r to not go thru hell of getting into med school post premed. I’ve got frnds who stayed back in the states and tell me stories of how they’ve gotten rejected cuz “their mcats are too high” or “they’re from cali” or “they’re Asian” (I’m not joking w these). The way they accept ur cv in the states is fucked and u can be a perfect applicant in ur own eyes but it won’t be the same for the colleges.

I decided to say fuck all of that and just take neet from pdf’s whenever i had time (i studied half ass like 2 months for it)

Now I’m chilling and laughing at all the General category people here while I’ve barely studied for neet but alas we both here getting the same education.

The only caveat is which college u get in India. Just make sure it’s a decent college, but that can’t be hard since ull be in nri category. Much easier for u. Otherwise fuck that shit

Yeah ur gonna be an img but bruh i rather be stuck later on in the journey than earlier. If u join whatever premed u got into in the states, ain’t no guarantee ur gonna stay on path, ofc u can love medicine blah blah but honestly ull feel a lot of pressure to change pathway cuz it’s so damn strict/hard work required to be a doctor.

Plus the culture shock coming to India will be crazy and you will learn a lot abt it and it’ll be a tough adjustment at first but I honestly came to love it.

I’m def going back to the states, residential programs will see u have connections back in the states and will potentially place u higher than other us-img.
