<p>1% chance?
I just want to know more about the spots they have in Med schools around the US. If you know anything PLEASE help.
I might go to either Mcgill, BU, USC or Case Western for Pre-Med.
PLEEEASE, let me know ANYTHING :)</p>
<p>If you’re an international student I would advise you to stay there. Med. school in the US is really expensive. It’ll be tough to get into Medical school if you didn’t do Pre-med in the US.</p>
<p>IF you still did pre-med in the US would you still need to show ~$250,000 before you’re allowed to matriculate if you’re accepted?</p>
<p>Well, money isn’t an issue for me at all.
Is Canada an exception for “It’ll be tough to get into Medical school if you didn’t do Pre-med in the US.” ?!</p>
<p>If money isn’t an issue, then by all-means go to a US med school.
and I’m not sure about Canada. It wouldn’t be as good, but still better than a place like China or India. But I think Canada would be sort of expensive as well. But again, if Money isn’t an issue, then study in the US.</p>
<p>and Go4Cornell, yes would still pay a lot of money for Med. school even if you did pre-med in the US. I don’t know if you pay before, after, or during Med school, but you do have to pay. I would advise taking out a loan.</p>
<p>I was actually considering Cornell Qatar, since its an integrated pre-med/med program. Its relatively new, but my chances of getting accepted to Med is WAY better than Cornell (main campus). I agree that US. Med schools are better, my ONLY concern is whether I have a good chance to be accepted after Pre-Med. (Again, no matter how much the cost).</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t mean to high jack this thread but I know you have to pay, and I’m not talking about fin. aid since I don’t think there is any for internationals at U.S. med schools, however I know that for some med schools when internationals apply they have to pay the $250,000 upfront before they are allowed to matriculate (as opposed to the ~60,000+ yer year). I was asking if this still applies if you graduated from a U.S. undergrad for premed.</p>
<p>@Suzatoo: Canada is an option, but in most cases they aren’t treated the same way as U.S. students. However, they do generally fair better than the other non-Canadian internationals so I guess you could say going to Canada premed would put you in the middle so to speak (below U.S. internationals, but above non-Canadian internationals). This can be shown by looking at statistics where Canadians are usually the most represented group of internationals. I think this is due to the fact that both Canadian and U.S. schools are accredited by the same board/organization, LCME. Hope I helped.</p>
<p>Thanks !! =)</p>

<p>I believe it still does since graduating from a US school is NOT an indication that you have funding for a US medical school. Afterall, you either could have spent all of your money on your undergrad or had gotten FA for undergrad. So, going to a US undergrad wouldn’t be any assurance for a US Med that you could pay for med school.</p>
<p>M2CK #9 is right. I had classmates at med school who went to American undergrads and still had to put up funding.</p>
