Hey there!

The first things first, you will have to build an excellent CV enclosing all of your curricular and co-curricular activities.

Then write down a moving statement of purpose. And ask three referees to write down a recommendation letter for you.

Appear for the GRE exam and also the TOEFL. Make sure, your marks are excellent.

Then, apply for the Harvard University and mention that you are an international student and hence would need a scholarship too. Also, you may apply to additional external scholarship for Indian students/international students that are provided exclusively for Harvard.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Raja, we have been discussing your career and aspirations for a while now and we appreciate that you want to take Career360's opinion on the matter of your career. So by now, you are aware of the fact what it takes to become a neurosurgeon and what it is to clear USMLE, practise as a resident in the US. We also have discussed the life style and the salary part. Now regarding the first half and later half of the career, we only wish we could predict our timeline on this planet. We do not which might be the first half or which might be the later part. But no wish is bad. If you want to achieve something, you should lest you regret for the rest of your lofe. Now to practise in the US, you may have to appear for USMLE, clear the step 1 and then practise as a resident before you can get the license to practise as a full time neurosurgeon. That is a long process that might take good 4-5 years. You study MBBS in India for 50 months and then complete the 1 year rotational internship and it takes you as many as 5 years. And appearing for USMLE and then working as a resident take another 4 years and so 10 years of your life are spent getting a valid license to practise in the US. And then lets say after 5 years you want to move to Singapore, that takes a whole different processing because you need to appear for their license exam. And you work in Singapore for lets say another 5 years and you come back to India. 15 years of your life are spent studying and getting licenses. But the beauty is within 15 years you can actually get license to practise in 3 countries. So you need to take a call. Or how about you finish MBBS in India, move to Singapore to study your MD/MS and plan on moving to the US? That way the transition is going to be smoother.

As long as you have an active medical license in your country that being india yes you can practice medicine anywhere in the world provided that you have some references who can recommend you to the place you want to work at and a good background check. That is the most important thing to consider. And yes your wish can come true if you work hard for it. All the best

Hi,

Well I would like to tell you that in USA there is no such course as MBBS. In USA every student after schooling gets into a basic BSC or BA undergrad program and has to enroll for pre medicine track along with the degree coursework. After bachelors they have to give MCAT and then enroll in the MD program to become a doctor. There is hardly any scholarships for international students to study medicine in any university in USA.

I hope my answer helps.

All the best.

Hi,

Harvard is one of the top colleges in the world. Great Gmat, good academics, overall personality matters alot to get in Harvard or any ivy league colleges, Work on your essays, have a Gmat score getof 780+, if you have work experience then that helps another thing you will need the best recommendation letters, keeping the academics aside though you should have exceptional acadmic background with straight A's and the don't look for the strong academic only they need something different they see what makes you different than other straight A students, that spike in your profile and the thing that can make you stand out of the world's top students is what will get you in any ivy league.

hey,

harvard is one of the best university of world. you need to get really high score in academic profile with also extra curricular activities to get a chance in harvard.

as per your score you have really less chances in indian top colleges or university let alone harvard.

Hello aspirant!

Harvard University in Boston is one of the best universities in the world. To even be considered for admission you have to score exceptionally well in the concerned competitive exam. Harvard loves superstars! To get admitted there you should not only have a phenomenal academic record, you should also be very good in co-curricular activities. So i would suggest that you should try and bulid an impressive all round profile and study hard for the competitive examto give yourself a fair shot at getting an admit from Harvard.

Good Luck!

Hi  Anumareddy,

Students who have been enrolled in medical school are not eligible to apply for admission to the first-year class in the Harward University. Students who have applied for admission to HMS on two prior occasions also are ineligible. HMS does not accept transfer students.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Present evidence that their intellectual and personal credentials are of such quality as to predict success in the study and practice of medicine
• 
  
• Demonstrate aptitude in the biological and physical sciences during their undergraduate years, but not to the exclusion of the humanities and social sciences
• 
  
• Supplemented their education with at least one year of college or university training in the United States or Canada if they have completed academic work outside the United States or Canada.
• 
  
• Foreign students who do not have a baccalaureate or advanced degree from an institution in the United States or Canada are rarely accepted for admission.
• 
  
• Demonstrate fluent and nuanced facility in English, as effective communication among the medical care team and between physicians and patients is crucial to the delivery of care.

Hope it helps..!!

Good Luck...!!!
