Advice

[clw105]

Hey guys...

I'm planning on applying to American schools this summer, but I'm not sure which ones I would be competitive at with my grades/MCAT. I'd like to live somewhere in the west/southcentral, and was thinking Colorado U because they do accept some international applicants...Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You MCAT is low for international but your gpa may save you.

I would apply to:

 

mid tier:

1- Case Western

2- BU

3- UMaryland

4- UVA

5- Einstein

6- NYU

7- Sinai (escrow policy)

 

 

Low-mid tier:

 

1- VCU

2- EVMS

3- SLU (beware of escrow policy)

4- NYMC (beware of escrow policy)

5- SUNY Upstate

6- Georgia State

EVMS no longer accepts Canadians. You could also do SLU, wayne state, RFU/CMS, AECOM,Georgetown, MCW

EVMS does accept Canadians. For one, I was accepted there this year. There is no indication on their website that they don't.

Quoting EVMS website

 

"Beginning with the 2012 entering class only U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.will be consiered for admission."

 

OP, with your stats, I would give Canadian schools a go. You should be able to get into a Canadian school with your GPA, save yourself 200k in debt

I was accepted too, but I think one current PM101er who goes to EVMS confirmed that they've changed the admission process.
