Does the Poznan University of Medical Sciences look at SAT scores (I am a student from America)?
I am applying to the school in POLAND right now but they are asking for SAT scores. I am not sure if they look at them since it is another country and it doesnt say anything on their website like they are required. I need to know ASAP, my sat scores don't come in till next week ALSO if you go to POZNAN UNIVERSITY FOR THE 6 YEAR MEDICINE PROGRAM can you describe to me how is it like ( country, classes hard or easy, easy to make friends, people, etc) ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED

Hey! Im in the 1st year of 6 year M.D - came all the way from Canada :) Being my 2nd month in - its pretty good I have to say. I highly doubt you need your SAT scores - Many kids came from Canadian highschools or were in the middle of univeristy and just switched to med school. All you need is your highschool marks for Chem, Bio, Physics and English. In terms of Poznan - Its pretty sick I have to say. Parties every weekend - always something to do. Classes are actualy Ok. Iv been told by older students that if you just keep up and Dont fall behind you will do fine. The only class thats really a b*tch is Biophysics, lol Im pretty sure %80 percent of my program cringe when they go to that class. My program now is about 70 people and its split into around 5 groups for seminars and labs - so around like 15 appx students per group so its pretty good - Making friends is a peice of cake, especially if you are on dorm - just be friendly and everyone is out making friends like you are so that wont be a problem.. however it is very clique-ish in school...almost reminds me of highschool but in the end...were all in school to be doctors and everyone is on the same page. When you apply - U are probably going to have your interview in NY - I actually flew to Poznan for my interview just so I can see the school and city but I heard from my friends they actually ask chem questions and biology questions on your interview to see where u stand at - my interview in Poland was more of an interview to see why I want to be a doctor and why in Poland and all that. Many kids are from the states tho..TONS and also many from Norway. There very chills but they stick to there groups of norweigians but they do party well :) Many kids from NY, Chicago, California (the M.D degree just got recognized there and a bunch are applying now I hear, probably your year) and also from Florida...and of course tons of Canadians. Bottom line - I know its only my first couple months in the 6 year program - but deffinatly a fun school to go to for medicine...Dont forget, just because you go to medical school doesnt mean you cant go out - U just need to control your school and partying. Good thing is with our school is you can always double up on classes and you can get out for christmas break a week or 2 earlier.. Couple friends in D.D.S (dentistry) are getting nearly a month off because there class reps arranged time with profs to double up on classes but its worth it. School buildings are very nice - old and antique but coming from a nice highschool that has wifi - this is deffinatly a downgrade, but bearing in mind you are in Poland - its a very old city with lots of history and those buildings go waayyy back - Its just enjoying the heritage and the amazing arcitect in school. If you dont speak polish dont worry - You are on the same page with MANY students who know ZERO polish and you have polish class..and trust me...it actually helps. ANYWAYYSS - I know i wrote a long crazy answer but I hope I helped you a bit. I remember a year ago I was also freaking out but being here in Poland and finally in med school and studying...its a rewarding feeling, especially getting that letter saying you are accepted into medical school - I still keep it. So, apply to this school and hopefully I can see you next year and party. Good Luck!
