Special Note to International Students Intending to Study Medicine
It is extremely difficult for international applicants who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States to gain admission to American medical schools. State-supported medical schools rarely consider international applicants for admission, and those private schools that do accept applications generally require that international students place in escrow the equivalent of one to four years tuition and fees ($40,000-$200,000 U.S.). There are very few scholarships available for medical school in the U.S., and in order to qualify for U.S. government-sponsored loans the applicant must be a citizen or permanent resident. Thus, international applicants who are considering a career as a medical doctor and hoping to receive their education at an American medical school should think carefully before applying for admission to an undergraduate program in the United States. |
