healthnut Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi everyone, Random question here about applying as a Canadian student to the US MD schools. My mother is an American citizen (born in the US, has dual citizenship) and we have always considered the possibility of getting me a US passport for the ease of working or going into school in the states but we have never followed up on it. The rules changed when I got older and made it harder logistically for me to get dual-citizenship due to the length of time my mom lived in the states (she was 16 when she left). However, we are considering it again and wondering if its worthwhile to look into, even if its a long shot, to open up the possibility of applying to US MD schools as an american citizen. But, I would have no residency claims in the US and I am wondering if that means that I will be effectively looked at as a international student, even if I had a US passport. Would I have to secure residency in a particular state to apply as a US student or would the passport/citizenship be enough? Not sure if anyone will have any idea about this hypothetical situation but if so, any help would be appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGrisham Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Do it, it will add a lot of schools. You would just be considered OOS for some publics, which is still better than not being able to apply. The butter is in being able to apply to more privates, the ones that dont take non citozens . get msar and confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
