I dont know what to do with my life

Question

im 13 and im just going into 3rd year(in northern ireland) and i have to pick my GCSEs at the end of the year. i want to be a doctor in the USA. but its far away from my family. and i dont know wether to go to university in the uk or america. thanx for your help. god bless

Answer 1

I am from Northern Ireland too, I am doing my A Levels. I would like to be an engineer in the USA because I love America...but as I have to start applying to universities soon, I have found out that the US qualifications are different than ours...they do SATs and other exams...I think you would have to do acceptance exams in the US to get into an American university...but I'm not completely sure! But if you really do want to go to America I would research it properly!

Hope I helped a little bit at least! :]

Answer 2

I don't think you'd like being in college in the USA at your age. Continue your plan there in Ireland until you're at least 16 or so and you'll have a better perspective. Besides, you'll need a lot of help with money, so get adults involved in your decisions.

Answer 3

Well, you can go to an online American university\college. If you don't want to travel far away, you can go to a college there in Europe. Or, you can go to America. Think about it, don't rush it.

Answer 4

Take triple science and other academic subjects for GCSE, and then do Biology, Chemistry and Maths for A2, plus another subject for AS.

Answer 5

you are still so young! you have a lot of time to think.

hopefully you know that becoming a doctor is very difficult.

1st you have to go to 4 years of undergrad, then take the MCAT to get into a medical school(MCATS is really difficult to pass). 4 years in medical school, then intern, then job.

Answer 6

You have another 5 years to think about it and you never know what might change. As far as your GCSEs are concerned, it doesn't really matter what you choose as long as you pass them so go with what you enjoy and hat you are good at and don't worry about it all. I admire your ambition but keep open minded. I wanted to be a scientist until i was 16 then changed my mind at 18! Good luck  

Answer 7

most US doctors actually go to Cuba to study their doctorate. it may be worth you looking into this as it will be better if you want to learn how the US practice medicine
