[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some posters here seem to think it is easy for a foreign doctor to come to US and do residency.  No American teaching hospital is rolling out red carpet to recruit foreign educated doctors.  Also, it is not easy to get a visa for foreign doctors to come to US.  Given all things otherwise equal, why would any US teaching hospital offer residency to a foreign educated doctor over a US Medical School graduate?  If you stop for a second and think logically with open mind you will realize that foreign educated doctors are exceptionally well qualified and overcame many obstacles to be where they are.

Regarding Duke premed students being curved out despite their stellar credentials prior to entering Duke, one doesn't have to be at Duke or other selective schools to go to med school.  I know of students who had full ride at UMBC and had more than one med school admission offer each.  Yes, undergrad GPA matters in admission to med schools.  Duke and other highly selective schools can't give high GPAs for all students.    [/quote]

American college students are relatively unintelligent and lazy. Just go over to AAP forum to see how posters dump on TJ and TJ students saying they are studying too much, robots and how TJ is too difficult etc. Almost all TJ grads have no problem going in to medicine and in fact many go into guaranteed BS/MD programs all over the country. When studying and working hard to learn is denigrated and criticized, do not expect your kids to be equipped to gain admissions to medical schools and graduating from medical schools. [/quote]
