Hi, IB is good, yes but nothing that prestigious as tens of thousands of school leavers depart with this level of education. As for what you call 'medical school' in the UK, there are no 'medical schools'. Rather, there are many departments of 'Health Sciences' under which medicine appears as just one of many possible areas of academic study. As for your question about the IB counting in the UK, yes it will, But for studying medicine, you had best get A+ in at least three natural sciences and A's in everything else, Start doing research now if you want to enrol in medicine in Sept 2011. .

UK medical programs will only admit you, as a foreign student, if the medical education system in your home country is considered sub-par. So if that's the case, you can apply to UK med schools; but if that's not the case, you really cannot. My suggestion would be for you to go directly to the websites for some of the UK unis that offer medicine as a course, and see what they say about all this. You may also need to email them directly to talk over your situation.

Can I go to Law school in the UK if I want to work in the US
Can I go to Law school in the UK if I want to work in the US?
I plan on doing all my undergrad stuff at Georgia State University but I would really like to go to Law School abroad like in England. I have always been fond of the country and I would love to spend a couple of years going to school there. The only thing I am worried about is being able to work here in the US after I graduate because British Law is different from US Law. Could I still work here in the US?

Why not do your undergraduate work abroad instead. It would be much simpler that way.
2 :
You really should go to law school in the country where you plan to practice law. Virtually everything they teach you is related to the laws in that specific country.
3 :
To practice law as a lawyer in the USA, you have to pass a state bar exam. That tests your knowledge of the law (USA version). So you would be at a big disadvantage going to an English law school and trying to get credentialed in our system. Think about an extra year for a master's degree in England after you graduate from a US law school, especially if you think you might want to practice in international law.
4 :
If you are an American citizen then there would be no problem with taking your law degree in the UK and working in the USA. You would have to meet the bar requirements of your state and this would likely include a US law school. Once you have been called to the bar, maybe you could take a year of so off your practice to go to the UK and do a masters in law, especially if you want to do international law.
5 :
That may end up being a hassle b/c most states require that you graduate from an ABA approved law school before you're even allowed to take the Bar. However, a lot of US law schools have programs where you can spend some time studying abroad which will count towards your JD. So maybe you should look into going to a US law school that has a study abroad program.

I'm no expert on the matter but I believe there is primary and secondar school. I think it's similar to schooling in the US with secondary school being like high school but with 5 years rather than 4. Again I'm no expert, but I wouldn't think that there would be too much of a problem aside from transfering to any other school and whatever applies to moving to a different country. Idk how much I actually helped I'm just pretty sure th schooling is like the same but with an extra year

This blog entry is a good place to start on background info http://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com/2006/12/types-of-schools-school-years.html For starters it says US grade 7 = English grade 8. Education is one of those things that isn't consistent throughout the UK. England and Wales have one system, Scotland another and Northern Ireland a third. You will probably find a big difference in how schools work and teaching is handled. There are certainly differences in how exams and assessment of work is done. Also above all the differences in the education system there's the general culture shock you'll experience by being in a different country.

year 7 and grade 7 are different, year 7 is the first year of highschool, aged about 11-12
