<p>I am an Korean Internationa student who's been studying in AMerica for last 4 or 5 years of my life.</p>
<p>I decided to major in business and go for med school for my graudate, of course assuming that I will work my ass off to study for MCAT and good grade in my undergrad.</p>
<p>Anyway I recently realized that I "can't" go to med school as an international student....</p>
<p>Only US citizens and permanent residents can be qualified for the application admission process.</p>
<p>I feel really bumbed.... can anybody see if this is totally true?</p>
<p>because there is no way I can get my gree card on time (4i years) in order for me to go to med school</p>
<p>plus my parents are not even thinking about immigrating here so...</p>
<p>what should i do? or should I just pursue my career in different field?</p>
<p>thankx</p>
<p>That's definitely not true. It's just harder, because you won't have a "home state." Several of my classmates are international students.</p>
<p>but i guess i need to really really study and commit my time i guess huh?</p>
<p>because i am not a genius.... >.</p>
<p>P.S. do you mean "home state" as terms like " instate or out of state"?</p>
<p>There are American medical schools that accept applications from non citizens. Many do not - especially the State schools. There is a link that lists many of the medical schools policies regarding international students
International</a> Students and Medical School Policies</p>
<p>Yes, that's exactly what I meant by "home state."</p>
<p>i know that this is not the LAW topic forum.. but</p>
<p>does anybody know how to get a green card? lol </p>
<p>more like in 4 years so that I don't have tlo go to expensive private med school that want my money over 4 years. >.<</p>
<p>I don't think it takes 4 years to get a green card, if I were you I would search the homeland security website.</p>
