DoubleA Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Unfortunately my MSAR subscription has expired so I can't check myself, but I'm not sure if Minnesota, Connecticut, Illinois and North Carolina are Canadian friendly. Also, you should contact Mayo to confirm this but I believe as if this past cycle they have stopped accepting internationals. Brown is a bad idea because a majority of their class comes from their direct-entry program, so very few seats are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sit Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I'm in a similar situation (with ~15 schools). If you haven't already, check out their requirements. If you're like me and used AP/IB credit to satisfy required courses, a lot of schools won't even consider you. Other than the stickies in this forum, I found this website to be helpful: http://medical-schools.findthebest.com/ Search up the schools in your list and check out the pie charts for those enrolled. If there's no blue (ie International), you should cross that school off the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I try to seek this information out? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I would say it's best to contact them to be sure. Be careful of the calling fees though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayo and Brown will be tough Remove Loma Linda as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
