JohnGrisham Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hello, I'm just wondering if there are any Canadians who have applied to or have had luck getting into schools in California?? I'm looking for some advice regarding these schools. Thanks! Very few of the California med schools take internationals, the California system is super competitive that's for sure for its own students, a large portion have to leave state. There is one USDO school in California (Western-COMP, near L.A.) that has taken a few canadians over the last few years. Here is an excerpt from a website: "California Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California [31]: applicant must have 1 yr of study in accredited US school & meet INS requirements Loma Linda University School of Medicine: must provide evidence of ability to pay Stanford University School of Medicine [2]: 1-5 accepted each year; must prepay tuition or establish escrow account for 4 years of tuition and expenses David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA [13]: internationals are considered like everyone else; must show sufficient guarantee of financial support; financial aid is not available; 1 student is admitted every 4-5 years Drew Medical Education Program, UCLA: Accepts international students; financial aid might be available in certain cases University of California San Francisco [4]: Rare for those w/o permanent residency; must show proof of ability to finance education as funding not given to them University of California, Davis School of Medicine [42]: must provide proof of the availability of sufficient funds for completion of the program Irvine-College/Medicine, University of California [42]: accepts international applicants if completed minimum of 1 year of college at a US institution; preference given to US citizens & green card holders" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
