Hello Vicky

Greetings

Medical in the United States is a post-graduate degree(so is law). For Undergraduate, they don't have Medical or Law courses in any college.

In undergraduate, students take preparatory courses for medical( Biology, Physics, Chemistry, etc) similar to BSc. Honors (take multiple subjects but major in one) courses which are collectively called Pre-med courses.

After graduating college, they attend Medical School. So overall it takes the same amount of time to be a doctor in America as it does in India. A bit more, I guess. But what you should note is, getting into a good medical program is extremely difficult in the US than it is in India.

SAT is only for Undergraduate level admission. There is no cutoff score. And unlike India, you'll not be applying to a specific course, you'll be applying to a certain university. You also don't get ranks in the SAT. Only a percentile score. Scoring a good mark in the SAT and SAT subject tests doesn't guarantee you an admission anywhere. A lot of components are required for admission. The admission system is very different in the US than it is in India. If you want to study medicine in the US, you will have to study BSc. In India and then apply for Med School in the US. But again, it's tougher to get into a US medical school than it is to prepare for NEET. For postgraduate there are very different requirements, testing wise, than in undergraduate, which you should not have to bother with now. Also, every college in the US needs a General SAT or ACT test score, and perhaps TOEFL roo. This part is mandatory, the subject tests are not. The subject tests depend upon each university's requirements.

And even if you give all these tests, you will still need a lot of extra curriculars and recommendations, great essays, and school results of 9-12th. And giving you admission, is still totally up to the university. It's not like NEET, you can't just get a score and get a rank and then get admitted.

The university has full power over who to select, and they require scores from tests and schools, but they won't guarantee you an admission, if you receive a certain level of score. They look for overall performance of a child in every field.

Thank you
