Some universities and all community colleges do not require the SAT. For specific details it is best to check with the university you're interested in attending.

2009-10-30 [06:11:24] Answer: Every university in the U.S.has a different set of requirements so they will determine what credits will or will not transfer. Every situation is different so if your credits have been turned down by another university you must contact them for an explanation. The following was taken from the Useful Information section of this website under "Admissions". I hope this will help explain the process: Transferring Between U.S. Institutions Because general education requirements are similar at many U.S. colleges, students who transfer from one U.S. institution to another are the most likely to find that many of their courses are recognized and transfer easily. Transferring courses you have taken as requirements for a particular major may be more complicated, especially if you are trying to transfer courses for a major that the new college does not offer. Sometimes the courses taken for a certain major may not meet the requirements for the same major at the transfer institution. When you are discussing with a college how many transfer credits you will receive, it is important to check and understand the distinction between a general acceptance of credit for transfer purposes, and acceptance of credits to meet the requirements for graduation with a degree in a certain discipline. The College Handbook for Transfer Students offers suggestions for ways that students can maximize their transfer credits. 1. Take any required general education courses during your first two years of study. 2. Take any prerequisites for your major at your original institution, as these will help you get accepted into another college, particularly if your major is highly competitive. Prerequisites are preparatory courses that are required before you can start studying for the major itself. 3. Plan to take the majority of the courses required for your major after you arrive at the transfer institution as these are more difficult to transfer. 4. If you are studying at a Community/Junior College, work closely with your academic adviser in planning your course schedule and take courses designated as "transfer courses". 5. You can ask a college to reconsider its decision about transfer credit. Sometimes a transcript or course description provides insufficient information to enable a college to grant credit; further information may allow them to make a decision in your favor.

Associate degree (2 year program), Bachelors (4 year program), Masters (1-2 year program), and PHD (2-4 year program). If you completed a bachelors of arts, you can apply for a masters program at a US university. However, you will have to additionally take a GRE exam (graduate school entrance examination) as well as a TOEFL or IELTS test (language). The university you apply to will assess the degree you have, and the scores you received on these exams. These exams are typically mandatory for all US universities.

2009-02-27 [06:00:46] Answer: Regulations pertaining specifically to the Alien Physician category are found at [22 CFR 62.27]. The term “foreign medical graduate” (FMG) refers to a foreign national who graduated from a foreign or U.S. school of medicine accredited by a body (or bodies) approved for the purpose by the Secretary of Education. There are generally two types of exchange programs in which a foreign medical graduate participates: Clinical training in the “alien physician” category Non-Clinical training in the “research scholar” category General information about each of the above-referenced programs is offered below. Clinical Exchange Program (22 CFR 62.27(a)): Programs under which foreign medical graduates (FMGs) receive graduate medical education or training are considered to be clinical exchange. Participants in this type of program are categorized as Alien Physician and require sponsorship by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Refer to the ECFMG website for more information: http://www.ecfmg.org. Foreign medical graduates (FMGs) may pursue graduate medical education or training at accredited schools of medicine or scientific institutions. To be eligible, FMGs must meet several criteria including, but not limited to, the following: They must have adequate prior education and training, and pass any of several qualifying exams. Competency in oral and written English is required. The applicant must provide ECFMG with a statement of need from the government of the country of his or her nationality or last legal permanent residence (and the test of such statement of need letter must utilize the language provided in 22 CFR Section 62.27(b)(6) to be considered acceptable by the Department of State); and, An agreement or contract from a U.S. accredited medical school, an affiliated hospital, or a scientific institution that is intended to provide the accredited medical education. Please refer to the Exchange Visitor Program regulations for details (22 CFR 62.27). Non-Clinical Exchange Program (22 CFR 62.27(b)): Programs under which foreign medical graduates (FMGs) come to the United States for the purposes of observation, consultation, teaching, or research. Foreign medical graduates (foreign national physicians) may be sponsored by a U.S. university or academic medical center which has been designated by the Department of State to conduct an exchange visitor program in the category of Research Scholars. In this capacity, an FMG may observe, consult, teach or conduct research if: The sponsor provides certification, appended to the Form DS-2019, that states, “this certifies that the program in which…is to be engaged is solely for the purpose of observation, consultation, teaching or research and that no element of patient care is involved,” or, The Dean of the accredited U.S. medical school certifies the following five points: The program is predominantly observation, consultation, teaching or research; Any incidental patient contact will be under the direct supervision of a U.S. citizen or resident-alien physician who is licensed to practice medicine in the State in which the activity is taking place; The foreign national physician will not be given final responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment of patients; Any activities will conform fully with the State licensing requirements and regulations for medical and health care professionals in the Sate in which the program is being pursued; and, Any experience gained will NOT be credited towards any clinical requirements for medical specialty board certification.
