don't be......he is wrong.....
pre-med means a specific foundation programme (studying subjects like chemistry and biology, of course!) specifically meant to enable a person to enter the 1st year of a medical programme.....and generally infer a guaranteed entry once meeting prescribed minimum results.....
don't confuse this with generic foundations like mufy.....
proper pre-u are generic programmes like a-levels, stpm, oz year 12, nz ncea level 3 etc.....while you still study the same subjects as pre-med, your qualification will enable you to study a wide variety of courses, and does NOT guarantee entry into medicine.....
under current practices in uk/oz, the pre-u itself is NOT adequate by itself to enable entry, as further filters are imposed, ie, the entrance exams (ukcat/bmed/isat/umat/pqa etc) and the interview....
don't bring the american system into this....they are completely different....
Added on August 30, 2011, 7:04 pmyou can't go invent your own words and you own definition like that......!
particularly, if you want to study medicine....everything, every word, every term, all have very clear specific, definition......so everybody is talking the same language, and on the same wave length.........
Hello buddy, you're threading on a thin line here.A bit more than that I would labelled you as arrogant.
Have a care in the word you dispense to the public.
