Its the time of the recession in the U.S, so it might be a little harder than in better times.
2 :
I'd say your chances are excellent and you do not have to worry so much about it as you are! Take your MCAT and see how you do, I'm sure you'll do just fine. And apply, apply, apply! There are a lot of good med schools in the US.

you have a good chance. go for it. good luck!

In New York State a teacher must be licensed in NYS. That means 4 different state test, a 4 year degree in the field and a master's degree. I assume hat other states have similar procedures. My dental hygenist had a degree in Italy as a dentist, but had to re-do a good portion of her education here in the US

Cooper Union Great school; it may not be well known (since it's pretty small), but it always grants a full tuition scholarship :D
2 :
U.C. Berkeley is a great school for Architecture. Not only is it in California but they are actively looking for students from other countries, apparently.
3 :
Us is not known for good architecture universities since America has no known history : No offense (I'm American). It is good in technology: Medicine, engineering, but when it comes to Arts: EUROPE
4 :
Try looking at smaller state schools. Many of them have quality programs but can't compete with the noise of the Ivy's. New York U. is pretty good, but everything in NYC is so expensive. I believe most programs in Chicago are good. I know Ohio programs--the University of Cincinnati and Miami University have good programs. Virginia is also very good. Schools in Oregon and Washington state should also usually have a good reputation.

How do I get work in France immediately after getting an MD degree from USA

How do I get work in France immediately after getting an MD degree from USA?
I want to move to Europe to work and live there. I am currently applying to medical schools in USA, and once I get an MD I would like to do my residency- or the equivalent of-(an "internat") in France. Is this easy to do? OR is it easier to transfer to the medical proffesion after doing a residency in USA? I want to do surgery, if that makes a difference.

It is ALWAYS easier to complete all of your education and training and obtain a valid medical license in one country. Once you're licensed 99% of the hassles disappear.
