The Law Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 This is from the old EZboard, I just thought it would be useful to have on here. If you're aware of any changes to this list... make sure you post them! The message below is copied from SDN (http://www.studentdoctor.net) ... because it may be useful to people, and it's easier to find old threads here than there. Schools that are marked with an asterisk ( * ) have been PERSONALLY identified by an SDN member that they interview regular Canadians Baylor Boston Univ. Brown Case Western Columbia* Dartmouth* Duke University * Einstein * Emory Finch/Chicago Medical School* Georgetown George Washington * Harvard* Hawaii* Hopkins* Jefferson * Maryland Meharry* MCW (Medical College of Wisconsin)* Michigan State University-CHM* U of Minnesota – Twin Cities Mt. Sinai * Northwestern* NYMC* U of North Carolina – Chapel Hill Ohio State * -- NO LONGER ACCEPTS CANADIANS/INTERNATIONALS Penn State * Rosalind Franklin University Saint Louis University* Stanford Stony Brook SUNY - Syracuse (Upstate Medical University)* Tufts * Tulane * Univ of Chicago--Pritzker UCLA UCSF University of Connecticut University of Pennsylvania Vanderbilt * Vermont Virginia Commonwealth University Wake Forest * Washington Univeristy (St. Louis) * Wayne State * Weill Medical School (Cornell) Yale University* For private schools, NO MCP in Philly NO Rochester (unless you have gone there for undergrad) Aid: Harvard, Columbia, Stanford and Yale Scholarships: CWRU, Wash U in St. Louis Tuition break (for Canadians only?): UCONN, in-state tuition starting 2nd year of med school UPDATE: Special thanks to token for providing a much needed update to the list: Here’s an alternative list of schools that you can assume are Canadian friendly.This list is very conservative. I started with the schools that I personally know are Canadian friendly (because either someone here or someone I know interviewed there) and we can add to it from there. However it is entirely possible that there are schools missing, so do your own research! (Also please PM me or a mod if you have more info to add, especially re: financial aid and escrows). Black – PM101 certified Canadian friendly. You will likely still be at a disadvantage compared to American applicants, but they do accept Canadians. Red – require at least 1 year's tuition in escrow prior to matriculation Orange – will only take international students who have completed some undergraduate coursework in the US Green – offers financial aid and/or merit scholarships to Canadians Grey – should be Canadian friendly based on MSAR/USNews international statistics, but can’t be directly verified California: the two top UCs have varying histories wrt accepting international students. They both screen for secondaries however. Stanford like all other private top tiers is citizenship-neutral. Loma Linda - SDA (or compatible belief systems) only! UCLA UCSF Stanford Connecticut: University of Connecticut Yale DCish: Georgetown George Washington Georgia: Emory Hawaii Illinois: University of Chicago – Pritzker Northwestern Rosalind Franklin Kentucky: University of Kentucky Louisiana: Tulane Maryland: Johns Hopkins University of Maryland Massachusetts: Boston University Harvard Tufts Michigan: Michigan State Wayne State Minnesota: Mayo Medical School University of Minnesota Missouri Saint Louis University Washington University at St Louis New Hampshire: Dartmouth New York: Albany Albert Einstein (Yeshiva) Columbia Cornell New York Medical College New York University Mount Sinai SUNY Upstate Stonybrook North Carolina: Duke University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill Wake Forest University Ohio: Case Western Reserve Pennysvlania: Jefferson University of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania State University Rhode Island: Brown – effectively, since there are so few places for students not already enrolled in their BS/MD program Tennessee: Vanderbilt Meharry Texas: note, you cannot apply to Texas schools through AMCAS. You must apply through their own dedicated application service, TMDSAS.

Madz25 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 That's the list I used to decide which schools to apply to last year. Can someone make this thread a sticky? Please and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elchris Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 This list is outdated. I'll make a better list soon... before the next cycle. Since I quit my job, I have so much free time on my hands!!!! Yes please it really helps to know where to start. The whole process seems so time consuming and stressful. I'm a newbie at this. btw: thanks sonyvaio for all your posts in the forum, it helps to get the info from someone who has been through this hell first lol.

omegaxx13 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 From what I heard, Stanford and UPenn are impossible to get in for Canadians. UCSF accepted one non-American student in the past decade, go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0tus Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hey, Here is some correspondence I received last year (as I was pondering on whether to apply to US schools or not). Since a couple of people were asking about Canadians and their acceptability at US Schools, I thought this would be helpful. Mind you, the information is 1 year old and lots can happen during that time! atleast this will help some of you to build up a list of schools to apply to, or ask the relevant questions. Before I applied, I emailed a whole whack of US schools asking: a) do you accept Canadians? (have you done so historically) If you do accept Canadians, are there quotas on international students? must canadians go above and beyond what US applicants achieve? c) need I have gone to a US university if I do not hold a green card or a US citizenship? d) will you accept OAC english? (if the school requires English) Having done so, I whittled down my list of potential applications to these: 1) Northwestern 2) Case Western 3) Dartmouth 4) Georgetown 5) Harvard 6) Cornell 7) Mt Sinai 8) Albert Einstein (Yeshiva U) 9) Tufts (although this was a long-shot) 10) Boston University 11) University of Chicago (Pritzker) 12) University of Vermont This is a decent enough list. Things being as there are, I'm extremely happy with it. If I had been more prudent, however, I would also have applied to schools like Wayne State, Penn State and Rosalind Franklin. These are known to take Canadians, and are what the studentdoctor.net community might call 'safety' schools. It is always wise to throw in a safety school or two - just so that you are more likely to have options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rankin Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Does anyone know the requirements for Boston medical school in terms of GPA and MCAT? It doesn't seem to specify on their website. http://www.bumc.bu.edu/Dept/Content.aspx?DepartmentID=37&PageID=9616 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost__in__space Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Thanks For the list, man! Do you know anything about Meharry? or SUNY? I'm wondering about SUNY Upstate myself, I checked their website and they seem receptive to international students. Plus it's close....I'd definitely want to go to a US med school that is close to Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkey Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey These schools also accept internationals: Rosalind Franklin U of Minnesota – Twin Cities Stony Brook U of North Carolina – Chapel Hill Brown there are others who claim to accept Internationals or Canadians only, but they have not accepted anyone in past years, and hence I have not included them. And according the MSAR, Virginia Commonwealth does not accept Internationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same is true with Uof Minn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bane Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 hey guys, I wanted to ask if the list of US med schools that regularly take Canadians is acceptably up to date. I will be applying to the US this year, and if anyone can please pass on some experience (such as apply to X Y Z on the list) it would be greatly appreciated. I think I'm going to apply to all of them. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochi1543 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does anyone know the requirements for Boston medical school in terms of GPA and MCAT? It doesn't seem to specify on their website. http://www.bumc.bu.edu/Dept/Content.aspx?DepartmentID=37&PageID=9616 Screw Boston....unless you got like a 38 and 3.8, don't bother. They get something like 11,000 applicants a year. I've clicked countless mdapplicants profiles on SDN and have yet to see anyone who even got an interview there (even folks who interviewed at Ivies).

mikkey Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hey To answer your question about Boston University, their average GPA for Fall 2005 is a 3.65 and their average MCAT is 10.7. They have a 2.7% acceptance rate for internationals and a 4.7% overall acceptance rate. It's the 31st most difficult school to get into in the US. It also happens to be one of the priciest private schools, because of high tuition and big city living expenses. All this info courtesy of the US News Report.

hippie Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does East Texas accept Canadians? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkey Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 What is East Texas? I can't find it in the MSAR... But in Texas, the schools that accept Canadians are: -Baylor (Houston) -Texas A&M (College Station) -U of Texas in Galveston -U of Texas in Houston -U of Texas Southwestern (Dallas) Keep in mind though that Texas law states that 90% of matriculants must be residents of Texas, so internationals don't hold much of a chance...

mikkey Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hi I just found out that Virginia Commonwealth does accept Canadians. They are considered Out of State. This is just to rectify a previous post by myself where I wasn't sure. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
