CaptainAmerica:
In the original post, I stated that my school is having duration issues..

What I mean is that: my expected year if graduation is 2017 but at the moment, it doesn't look likely for my set to graduate 2017. 'Cos we have a lot of sets before us that haven't graduated.

And we are having accreditation issues.

I'm in a state of dilemma..


Here's my story.

I'm currently in my 400L studying Medicine and Surgery in a Nigerian University.

For some time now, my parents have been working our papers to leave the country.

Recently, everything clicked into place.

Considering the fact that this Is a "once in a life time opportunity, Should I leave and start afresh?

Or should I stay and complete my course of study? (Though we're having some duration issues)

Thanks

Vessi:
what course are you interested to study in the states. That would give us better idea of your dilemma because medicine night be far more profitable than the course in mind. Plus considering you won't graduate at the right time which is 2017. That means between now and 2019 when you might graduate, you would already be a graduate of an American institution. Hmmm great thing. But which is better. A graduate of an American institution or a Nigerian raised medical doctor. I think your passion should be the key here.

Tattooboy:
which sch is dat pls?

amokeme:
depends on how old you are.., if age is on your side I think starting afresh wont be a bad thing.. since you are not sure when to graduate because of you sch issue. what uni if I may?

CaptainAmerica:
On getting to the states, I'd still opt for Medicine and Surgery.

Vessi:
I thought medicine and Surgery in the states is pursued as a post graduate programme. Like you apply with a degree In biology, chemistry or any other degree related to health. Medicine and surgery in the states is damn expensive for foreigners and unless there are scholarships or financial wavers for it, then you must be a son of a wealthy man probably politician. Anyways Goodluck. If it were me medicine in the states is surer than medicine in 9ja simply because practising doctors in the states are millionaires meanwhile doctors in Nigeria merely live average lives . And you know you can't practise medicine in the states as a medical graduate from a Nigerian institution. MBBS is inferior to MD- doctor of medicine. (degree awarded to successful doctors in the states)

decode55:
That's not true

Armed with your MBBS, you can practice in the States if you pass United States Medical Licensing Examination ® (USMLE)

Get your facts straight bro

CaptainAmerica:
I'm in my early 20's.

So I think age is on my side.
Are you saying I should shun it all and leave?

Vessi:
oh I see. Good news to the OP. However passing the USLME is one step towards the right direction. There still are many hurdles to jump over.

& your point is?

Tattooboy:
bingo!

ode,do I know ur fada.idiot...don't quote me again. Takia

Tattooboy:

the idea of starting all over again is just super scary.
