r/AUB_Lebanon

Hi everyone! I’m currently a U.S. pre-med student looking into the med program at AUB and wanted to hear from current students or graduates about their experiences.

I’m especially interested in eventually matching back into the U.S. for residency, so I had a few questions:

- How supportive is AUB when it comes to preparing students for the USMLE and the U.S. match process?

- How easy is it to find research and clinical opportunities that help for U.S. residency applications?

- How well do AUB students generally match into U.S. residencies?

- For U.S. students specifically, was it difficult adjusting to the system or living in Lebanon?

- Do you feel AUB gave you a strong advantage as an IMG compared to other international schools?

I’d honestly appreciate any insight because I’m seriously considering applying. Thank you so much!

I have been placed in english 102 as a sophomore in aub and was wondering if this class is paid additionally to the standard 15 credits. I have seen that english 102 counts as 0 credits for sophomores so i am not sure if this means that it is free or not. Also, is the WT exam worth taking, is it like the sat ,and if so, how do i prepare for it?

I have found rugby outside of aub but it did not interest me that playstyle is very boring looking to try American football.

is it better to take bio or medical lab for pre med?

Hi! I hope everyone is well

I just have a question regarding freshman applications

Im in G11 currently, I have around a 15/20 For G10 and around a 13/20 in G11 (estimated). Im applying freshman next year with what im hoping to be an sat score of over 1300 or 1400. Do I have a shot?

I know scholarship is a long shot, but im atleast hoping to get in.

Thank you.

Hello

I am sharing this and I genuinely need answers to my questions😭😭

How do AUB medical students pay the tuition beyond loans.

I am an upcoming undergraduate student and I got accepted into BAU medicine

However, I am extremely drawn to the American system because it would allow me to achieve my dream of doing my residency in the us

Do AUB students find donors/external scholarship/ financial support? If yes, how do you contact donors? Because I know that aub med only gives a maximum of 20% faid which is also rare

Please someone spill the secret because it's my dream to do medicine at aub but I can't financially

Welcome, I would like to apply for full scholarships with a bachelor's degree in accounting, and when I was researching, I knew that I should do more activities and volunteer to increase my chances of getting a scholarship, what I would like to know are the things that if I volunteered would serve me to get a bachelor's degree in accounting. The second thing I would like to ask about is how to communicate with a doctor or doctoral student to do scientific research in the field of accounting

Hello, I’m interested in applying to AUB for medicine next year, and I wanted to ask current students or applicants about the GPA and MCAT requirements.

What GPA and MCAT score is usually considered competitive or accepted? And how competitive is the admission process overall? Also, if someone is missing one prerequisite course, would that significantly affect their application? I’m currently in my last year of undergraduate studies in Canadian , and I wanted to get a general idea before completing my degree. I tried to reach out to a few people by email but I have not heard back from them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
