Hi! I am an International student from Dubai. I was recently accepted into Stony Brook University and Drexel University. Although I am honored to have gotten in, I don’t know for sure which one to pick. Can someone please guide me regarding the pre med program offered at said schools? Finance and setting are not an issue but I have no clue as to which pre med program is better. Thanks for the help!
It’s extraordinarily difficult for international students to be accepted into US med schools. Fewer than 150 in total are accepted to US med schools each year. About 75-90% those matriculants are Canadians.

See “Legal residence not in US” at the bottom of the table.
Unless you plan to return to your home country to study medicine, I suggest you may want to reconsider your educational plans.
I agree medschool is tough to get into but right now I need to choose between SBU and Drexel for premed. Please help me in that context.
I don’t really know anything about those two schools. Since you’re posting this here instead of http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/drexel-university/ or http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/suny-stony-brook/ I’ll give you the best advice I can which is that Brown is the best place to be a pre med: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/1284648-brown-is-the-best-place-to-be-a-pre-med-p1.html
