bearpuppy Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Okay, I have come up with a rough list of schools (34 schools). I would like to narrow it down to around 15, and I'd appreciate any feedback/comments on it: Albert Einstein Baylor CWRU Rosalind Franklin Dartmouth George Washington Georgetown Loma Linda Lousiana Augusta Mayo Wisconsin Michigan State NYMC Oakland Pennsylvania Rush Medical Colelge Saint Louis NY Upstate Stony Brook Commonwealth Tulane USF Health Morsani UCSF (San Francisco) Central Florida Pritzker Louisville North Carolina (Chapel Hill) Utah Virginia Virginia Commonwealth Washington (St. Louis) Wayne State Yale Thanks!! I would probably drop George Washington since they have ridiculously high number of applicants, and probably also Loma Linda (they have a very religious based code of conduct, in case you aren't aware), and Saint Louis (requires escrow). Also drop all Florida schools - they do not consider internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD2B2019 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Wayne State had 0% Canadians interviewed according to MSAR As I know, Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan interviewed hundreds Canadian every year, accepted more than or near 100 Canadian every year, around 40 Canadian studied MD there every year. It's like 7th medical school for Ontarian. They accepted only Canadian citizen, not Canadian resident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAmeds Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks guys. I've dropped NYMC and Saint Louis since they require escrow. I read on Kentucky's website that "International students are welcome to apply to the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. At least one full year of undergraduate or graduate study in a regionally accredited U.S. school is required for application to medical school." Does that mean we, as canadian citizens can no longer apply there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAmeds Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Get rid of 1,2,8,9,10,24, 25,29, Also, what's wrong with Utah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAmeds Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Lastly, what do people think of Maryland and Sidney Kimmel? Are they worth applying to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD2B2019 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Lastly, what do people think of Maryland and Sidney Kimmel? Are they worth applying to? Jefferson is very Canadian friendly, it's a private school, tuition is cheaper than state university for Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAmeds Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks MD2B2019. Does anybody else have any comments about Kentucky, Utah or Maryland? I am really struggling with narrowing down my list of schools, which is perhaps due to my lack of knowledge about the schools. Appreciate any comments.

It's like 7th medical school for Ontarian. They accepted only Canadian citizen, not Canadian resident. Agreed, Wayne state is probably (arguably) the most Canadian friendly school in the US. I was accepted there this cycle. When I interviewed, they were very friendly to the fact that I'm Canadian (ie. it didn't work against me) and there were at least 5 other Canadians interviewing too. I also have heard they accept ~40 Canadians each year, if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take out 6/7 b/c they get lots of applications each year... not sure if it'd be worth applying. Not sure if 13 (Michigan state) is actually Canadian friendly? I would also take out all california schools because they haven't taken any Canadians recently (according to what I've read on SDN). I have a friends who have gotten into VCU (31) so that's a good one too. Biggest piece of advice for US schools is to apply early! Submit both primary and secondaries ASAP to maximize your chances. Aim to be complete by end of July to finish everything before Canadian apps even start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soporific Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I don't think UCSF accepts Canadians do they? Also not sure about Baylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpuppy Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I don't think UCSF accepts Canadians do they? Also not sure about Baylor. It doesn't look like UCSF has ever accepted internationals. although they claim to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
