Heck yah man, good luck with that. It is for sure worth it to come over for med school. Although it is a tough process that requires alot of dedication in the end its worth everything that you will spend to come over then.

When you apply in the US, since you are from Brasil, I HIGHLY recommend checking off hispanic/latino - people may hate one me for saying this, but it will likely help you as well.

He means to indicate that you're not white bread caucasian. Many schools have affirmative action or diversity programs, because it looks good for them to be multicultural.

Have you gone to college in the us?

No, I did my studies here in Australia. I just know that it's a similar sort of deal in trying to promote multicultural attendance.

Indigenous Australians, for instance, get let into certain degrees with lower entrance scores than non-Indigenous Australians; they want to try to encourage them to seek tertiary education, and this is one strategy. Unfortunately sometimes it backfires, as the lower scores were indicative of just not being able to cope with the workload of the more intensive courses. Two girls I was in high school with got accepted into a law degree, the Indigenous girl on a lower score than they usually accept. She dropped out before the year was out because it was just too rigorous.

Melbourne's very hipster. I'm biased though, as my home city, Sydney, has a natural rivalry with Melbourne. University in Australia is very different to college in America, if my husband's experiences compared to my own are anything to go by. Try to do some research into the degree requirements that you'll need to complete, as it may influence your choices. My husband had to take compulsory courses in random-ass stuff like badminton, statistics and Spanish for his psychology degree. That makes no sense to me.
