UserName Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 EDIT: SUNY upstate will take Canadians who studied in Canada. (I emailed them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_blue2000 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Is this a website, post, or something that says the ranking of schools? Like those that are seen as easier for Canadians to get into than others? I have a cGPA of 3.695 and am writing my MCAT now, but hope to get about a 32.

Rach Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Does anyone know if Virginia Commonwealth puts Canadians in OOS category? I'm looking at the MSAR data and it appears they interviewed no "internationals" but I know they are on the Canadian Friendly List so I'm wondering what's up.

Also I vaguely remember Maryland taking 0 INTs. But I know a guy who interviewed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agmd Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 schools do not always consider cdns as international students. some, like vcu, treat them like any other out of state applicant. there are no internationals accepted, but there are cdns.

James23 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hi, An update... I just called Baylor, and they said they accept Canadian students. They also said they do not require course-work done in the US IF you have completed your education in Canada. And lastly, I was a bit confused by the fact that Baylor was categorized under Texas, and the note said Texas schools require a seperate application service (for Baylor you apply through AMCAS though). I'm not sure if anyone might want to confirm this, I called back because I forgot to ask something, but then I spoke to a different woman and she seemed kind of irritable at the fact that I called twice and asked similiar questions (she didn't hang up properly and I heard her say "jeez did this guy just want to hear the same thing from someone else... I can't believe that..." lol). James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rach Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I just received an answer from Stony Brook regarding how they treat Canadians and it's quite confusing. The email says: "Canadian applicants are considered out-of-state applicants." Then goes on to say: "Our students are required to be permanent residents or have a green card. If you choose to apply without it it will be up to the Committee on Admissions to decide how they wish to deal with it. If you do not have a green card you will not be eligible for financial aid, and will have to furnish proof of your ability to pay for medical school." Huh? How are we considered out of state if students are required to have green cards?!? And their website says that foreign applicants must have completed coursework in the U.S. I think I'm gonna forget about their secondary.

token Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hi guys, Just a quick note reminding Canadians that many schools this year WILL require escrow accounts - and not just for 1 year, but the costs of four years' tuition up-front. The link below summarizes the situation. I, for one, was accepted into two schools with this requirement and ended up rejecting both offers due to their escrow requirement. http://www.advice4premeds.com/ At least some of those schools make exceptions for Canadians (e.g. Hopkins).

keith_015 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 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 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.

bannie22 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think its also important to add that no matter how citizen neutral the school is. Statistics still favour an American acceptance over an international acceptance. To add on Duke also declares that they do not look at citizenship.
