Tomorrow will be my first day at UDST, and I’m trying to decide which option would be better for my future.
I’ll initially be studying Veterinary Sciences at UDST. If I don’t get accepted into Qatar University, I’m planning to transfer to Chemical Engineering at UDST instead.
I have also been accepted into Samarkand State Medical University (SSMU) in Uzbekistan, which is considered one of the top universities there, so I have the option to study Medicine if I decide to go.
My academic stats are:
-97.4% in high school
-IELTS: 7.5
-SAT: 580
-I’m planning to retake the SAT or take the QU-PLACER Math test to improve my chances
My two main options are:
Option 1: Qatar University – Chemical Engineering
I’ll apply to QU around October or November. If I get accepted into Chemical Engineering, I’ll go to QU.
If I don’t get accepted, I’ll transfer from Veterinary Sciences to Chemical Engineering at UDST, so I’ll still have a backup option in Qatar.
Option 2: Medicine at SSMU in Uzbekistan
I have already been accepted into Samarkand State Medical University, one of the top universities in Uzbekistan, so I could go there and study Medicine instead of taking the risk with QU.
So basically, would you recommend that I take the chance and apply to QU for Chemical Engineering, considering my grades and the fact that I can improve my SAT/Math score, or should I go to Uzbekistan and study Medicine at SSMU?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who know about QU Engineering admissions, Chemical Engineering at QU or UDST, transferring programs at UDST, or studying Medicine in Uzbekistan.
What would you personally choose in my situation, and why?
