acromium Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Canadian are treated as internation applicants in certain schools, while others they are treated as domestic applicants. You should check each school's policy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastriss Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 This list needs to be updated, NYU SOM should be added, they accept canadians but they don't accept internationals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also U Missouri Columbia, but that's named after the location (state school). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UserName Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks Jochi. I didn't know there were that many US schools that accepted Canadians. I randomy looked at many of them on the AAMC websites and they all said no. I guess I just chose the wrong ones.. so how do we really narrow it down to like 6 or 7 schools? this is really overwhelming!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't narrow it down to 6-7...usually, you apply to 15 or so, more if your #s are not very competitive. I think the average person applies to 15 schools, receives about 3-5 interviews, and 1-2 acceptances. I applied to like 22 or smth and so far only have 1 interview.

UserName Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I see. I also want to apply to Canadian schools. that's why i thought i should probably need to narrow down my list of US schools. but if i think i have the time i would definitely apply to the most schools possible.. but still though, there should be a way to categorize these schools in smaller groups. i will try to do it over the next few days and if i get something i will post it.

Futuremedstudent? Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hello, As I sit here waiting to hear back about my Dalhousie application I"m starting to think about spreading out my applications a little more next year if I get rejected this time around. As far as that list of US schools that except Canadian students has anybody researched what the tuition and GPA/MCAT cut offs are for those schools? I find a lot of US schools don't list cut offs on their webpage. Right now I'm not sure what my GPA is exactly. It was a ~82% from each year of a B.Sc at Guelph. I think that translates to ~3.7. My current MCAT is 30 O though I may try to redo it this summer if I get that dreaded rejection letter. I have a decent amount of ECs. I'm currently working full time as a clinical trials coordinator so by next year I will have a full year of working with patients and doing research full time. What American schools would I have a chance at?? What sort of tuition am I looking at for them? Also, does anybody know if it's possible to get a decent amount of financial aid when applying to international school like the US (either through scholarships/bursuries or student loans)?? I ask because I have very little money and am looking a riding through my whole medical education on loans (slightly scary, I know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Is there an updated list for people applying this year? Also, it was mentioned that there are a small number that accept Canadians at US undergrads. Anyone know which ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarup Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I believe U of Rochester does. Check out their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human instinct Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I believe U of Rochester does. Check out their website Hey, I dont think it does. Here is what it says regarding international applicants: " The school does not accept applications for admission from individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States. There is one exception to this policy. Applications will be accepted from foreign nationals who have, or expect to receive, an undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester."

Thats exactly what the n00b was asking - which schools are you eligible to apply to given that you're not a PR who did a US undergrad.

Deanis Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hey, is this list current? I'm planning on getting my primary in as soon as possible and want to know where I can apply. BTW, I emailed Georgetown and they said the they definitely accept Canadian applications and the admissions officer said "We don't keep separate statistics for international students, because they are not considered differently from regular applicants." which seems pretty sweet!

worriedandwaiting Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 From my experience with georgetown, they are very happy to accept your primary, secondary, and secondary application fee (about $100). I wouldn't count on getting an interview though. (although if you are an exceptional applicant, you may get an interview) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worriedandwaiting Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 alrighty, i assumed it was true for most as I heard that from a few others as well.. I guess georgetown can be nice to canadian applicants too congrats on the interview btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
