Rutgers had 248 int apps & none interviewed. RWJ had 203 int apps & none interviewed. not friendly at all. Big Shaq and bearpuppy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most top-tier applicants add them for safeties/low-tier applicants add them for reaches. Hard enough for Americans to get into; even more difficult for Canadians. leo98 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rganglion Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi sorry I'm new to premed and I'm really confused with this thread. Are these the schools that are good for Canadian students to apply to? Like do they consider us with their US applicants or are we disadvantaged even with these schools?

For the most part, disadvantaged even with these schools. But they are certainly better for Canadian students to apply to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Any input on how second degrees splay into the GPA calculations or how to convert a Canadian GPA to the AMCAS scale. Prior research has suggested that an 80%+ at UWO and other Canadian schools converts to a 4.0. My understanding is also that returning to Canada is easier with a USMD, than an international MD in the Caribbean, Ireland or Australia. Here is a 2015 AMCAS conversion schedule I found: https://aamc-orange.global.ssl.fastly.net/production/media/filer_public/10/ab/10ab9407-7134-4477-9fc9-140d8acb35af/amcas_grade_conversion_guide.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendi Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Most AMCAS conversion is grade-to-GPA, so if your university gives you A for 80%, that's 4.0. Double degree matters little in US - every course from every degree counts to calculate GPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabeprazole Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 On 3/2/2018 at 10:29 AM, Serendi said: Albert Einstein College of Medicine MSAR says they don't accept Canadians. From their website: "IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE 2019- 2020 ACADEMIC YEAR: The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is transitioning from its prior relationship with Yeshiva University to an independent degree-granting institution. As part of this transition, Einstein has applied to the U.S. government for permission to sponsor student visas. Unfortunately, at this time, the application is still pending and we are not yet able to sponsor student visas. Therefore, we will be unable to accept applications from, or admit international students this year. It is our hope that we will be able to consider international applications in the future. If so, the instructions below will apply. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theevilsloth Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Anyone have an updated school list with the new msar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendi Posted September 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Updated with the newest MSAR. Note - if you didn't submit secondaries for American schools until now, better wait until next year. Cycle is underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

武田信玄 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Not sure if the number is correct. A Chinese girl at SLU said this year there're only 6 visa students accepted (3 Canadians, 1 Russian, 2 Chinese). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSAR 2018: 3.82/515, 5 International Matriculants. MSAR 2017: 3.83/516, 5 International Matriculants. CoA $290K. Has an escrow requirement: 2 year for Non-Canadians, half of 1 year tuition for Canadians. Financial aid is available through Einstein Scholarship and College Loan Funds. Requires 1 year post-secondary education in US/Canada. Not their fault, they became an independent school and can’t give visas to international students at this time.

canadian.premed Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Does anyone know if the schools that give aid to international students are need blind? Would requiring aid hurt your chances of getting an interview and being accepted? Thanks @Serendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TackleMD Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Accepted MD - this thread is still useful. Some schools should be off tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Agreed that it changes every year, and now especially with covid disrupting there could be more changes than usual. As someone who was also accepted to USMD (and stayed in Canada) the MSAR is mandatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redface Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 If I completed by degree in Canada and will be applying to American medical schools living in the US with a green card how will I be evaluated?
