Futuremedstudent? Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi everyone, I would like to broaden my application next year to include American schools but I don't know if this is feasible for me financially. Right now I have a large student debt that I've been working to pay off and will have no help from family resources. Has anybody researched which American schools have reasonable tuition costs for Canadian applicants? Also if you are going to a school outside of Canada are you still able to get Canadian government student loans? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also get a LOC from the "big 5" banks. http://www.internationalstudentloan.com/canadian_student/index.html If you're from ON, you will be able to get OSAP loans but last time I checked, the maximum that you could get for studying in the US was 7K/yr.

KennethToronto Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 None of the US med schools have reasonable tuition costs. SUNY Upstate is around $35k/year. Dartmouth has limited fin. aid available, same with Yale and Harvard. CWRU and WashU have merit scholarships that are anywhere from half tuition to full rides. I would stay away from Wayne / MSU:CHM because the tuition alone is $55k Take it as the exception rather than the rule you'll receive any support from a school.

THX Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah, I still don't understand how anyone can afford the Michigan schools. I mean, you are looking at over 300k over 4 years. I'd love to go to those schools, but I think the cost is just too high.. anything more than 41k a year in tuition is hard to swallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
