Daisha,

Most schools in the US require med school applicants to have completed a 4-year bachelor's degree with certain "pre-med" requirements before applying for admission.

Usually those pre-med requirements include:

2 semesters of general chemistry w/ lab
2 semesters of general physics w/ lab
2 semesters of calculus
2 semesters of general biology w/ lab
2 semesters of English
2 semesters of organic chemistry w/ lab

If you can prove through your coursework transcripts that you have met these requirements through the classes you completed in your O/A Levels, then you may just have to take the MCAT exam....although I'm not sure so please check with someone else also!
