How difficult is it to be accepted into Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland in the medical school?
How difficult is it to be accepted into Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland in the medical school?
I am an American citizen, whose parents both were born in Poland. Since, I would like to reconnect with my roots, I am wondering how hard is it to get into the Medical school in UJ. I am a highschool student, who is going to be a senior this fall. Also, are there any other medical schools in Poland? Please, keep in mind: that I would like to study medicine in the English language, not in Polish. Thank you!

This is an overall bad idea for following reasons: - I'm not aware of a course in medical school that would be entirely in English, - if you don't have Polish citizenship you will have to pay a lot for tuition, - after completion you won't be able to practice medicine, in Poland you will need to undergo further apprenticeship to be able to practice medicine - can't imagine being able to do so without speaking passable Polish, elsewhere else including the US you will need your qualifications from Poland re-evaluated, - last but not least medicine is one of most corrupt professions in Poland - it is normal and encouraged by the medical community that sons/daughters of doctors enter the profession - others have all kinds of informal difficulties. If I may suggest so I propose that reconsider this and think of other ways of reconnecting with your Polish roots that will not impede your chances of having a career in the medical profession and won't leave a bad aftertaste.
