European medical schools, yes. US BA/MD programs, no.
US BA/MD programs are incredibly competitive for US students, who often have to choose between a mid-to lower tier BA/MD and Ivy/Ivy equivalent acceptances for undergrad.
You can probably count the number of international students accepted to BA/MD programs each year on your two hands and still have several fingers left over.
There are only a very few BA/MD programs that accept international students:
Boston University Seven-Year Liberal Arts/Medical Education Program
Brown University Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME)
Case Western Reserve University Pre-Professional Scholars Program in Medicine
Pennsylvania State University Accelerated Premedical-Medical Program
Rice/Baylor Medical Scholars Program (MSP)
University of Connecticut Special Program in Medicine
University Rochester â Rochester Early Medical Scholars (REMS)
Washington University in St. Louis University Scholars Program in Medicine
Most US Med schools wonât even let internationals apply - they want to train US doctors for the US.
You can also look into Physicianâs Assistant programs but if you want to be a physician (doctor, surgeon), then you need to apply broadly throughout Europe.
OR you can decide you want to attend a US college and figure out what youâll do later once youâre in college, forgetting becoming a physician.
You might want to reconsider penn state as your safety. It is in a very remote area, and frankly, pennsylvania is a very mixed state in terms of tolerance vs xenophobia. There are better choices for you for a flagship state U safety. Pitt, since it is in a city and has access to hospitals, med research. U mass, liberal state, good research, but nearby hosp is a community hospital. U maryland. U Delaware. SUNY binghamton. Maybe UConn. U Wisc. UIUC. You can go to strong south ir southwest flagships too, but they have same issue as oenn state, only more so. You will be fine at any if them, it is just that penn state might not be your best match for a safety for you.
You would get into a selective school that wants your money, since your stats are excellent. But honestly, if you are so sure you want medicine, wouldnt a 6 yr med program in your own country be better? You can come to US for residency, if you continue to do so well. Or college in Canada, med school and citizenship there, then residency in US. The education is virtually identical. U toronto, mcgill, queens, and others would all be great for you.
I agree with your reason to look for other safeties.
But Maryland, Wisconsin and UIUC will be matches at best, not safeties. They all have an estimated OOS acceptance rate in the 30%s.
I like the suggestion of Canadian schools and Pitt.
