I went to UCl heh heh heh.

[Saladin]

Guys it rlly depends on how much money u can spare
But i knwo that malaysia is a gr8 place to stdy and it reasonalbe.

But the best american institution for medicine i believe is John Hopkins.

I think of u wanna a western education, it would be best to go to america as england is amazingly expensive if u r an expat, but if u r a part of the commonwealth or even the eu, then u can try out in english uni's as they are 1/4 of the price then normal usually.

But if u r not in any of these america and malaysia would be best...

And if u wanna study surgery then the royal institute of surgery in ireland would be a good choice.


It all comes down to

1. Nationality
2. Desired subject
3. How much cash u can spare

my cousin went to Yale on 100% scholarship
and ma grandmother went to MIT(many many years ago)

[omega007]

@slvri: Then you have a great chance at MIT and Yale because you have a 'legacy' at these schools.

Are you doing SAT's? Whats your IGCSE/A-Level grades? Where are you from?

If you have questions about American U's, I'm happy to answer all of them and feel free to ask!

As someone who has a bachelors and a masters in audio engineering, I can say it's going to be tough to find a program that's 2 or 3 years that's going to give you a good audio engineering background with the electronics. Many of the shorter audio programs skimp on the electronics cause there's so much material to cover on the audio side.

As for a 4 year program, a lot of bachelors degrees in music engineering make you take a good number of electronics courses, and there are schools with acoustics degrees or electronics degrees that require you to take audio courses - and there are schools that will let you build your own curriculum.the best university in audio engineering!

[astarmathsandphysics]

It would be too much effort for me he i were off to uni now.

[past-papers]

In England, all Medical Universities are equally as good as each other. It is the course structure that varies, however at the end of the degree, you always leave with a MbChB so it's the same everywhere.

That said, Cambridge university remains the elite university for medicine whilst it is generally considered that ICL and UCL are better courses whilst still being elite universities. In reality, it doesn't matter where you go at all - at the end of the day, wherever you go, you leave with the same degree.

Top American universities also offer online courses which cost less then regular ones. You can check out http://www.thedegreeexperts.com for the list of various online courses provided by top US universities and can choose the best one amongst these.
