Can you study abroad while in medical school?

GPA, Medical School, Study Abroad?

  • Hi everyone. I'm planning on studying abroad during the fall of 2012. My home institution does not factor in the GPA that I will receive during my education abroad. I was curious however to see if anyone knew if medical schools would in fact factor in this GPA. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    It depends on the Med School. They'll certainly note that you took courses abroad, but if they're not relevant to Med School and you don't fail any of them, they might not bother to factor them in. However, because you'll want to apply to a wide variety of Medical Schools, do your best in those courses - you don't want to lower your chances at ANY school just because some schools may have lower standards.
