Hi everyone! This is my very first post on this website.
I’m senior yr in korean high school.( i mean i am an international student who live in korea)
and… I have a question !
Does Liberal arts College students can go to the medical school after they graduate the LAC ?
I want to be a psychiatrist.
But i’m an international student and my parents cannot afford my university’s tuitions.
So i srsly need the scholarships and LAC is so famous for giving scholarships to international students.
I’m thinking of applying for berea college or clark university.
and Does berea college and clark university have the majors or programs that i can go to medical school after graduate those schools?
I really need you guys answers.
Thanks for taking your time to read my questions
LAC students get admitted to US medical schools at roughly the same rate as university students. (My S is a medical student who attended a LAC.) But as an international student, irrespective of whether you attend a LAC or University in the US, you will have little or no chance of getting into a US medical school. The number of international students admitted is so small it’s not worth aiming for. Most foreign medical school students come to the US for residency (that is, after they have completed medical school elsewhere). Go to student doc network and check out the statistics on how many residencies are available in that specialty for internationals.
So you mean i cant get admissions from medical schools…
cause i’m and international students and also from LAC
What if i have permenant before i apply to med school?
I heard foreigners cannot be a doctor in united states.
So i’m looking for applying MAVNI for get a citizenship.
ahh and i just have a one more question.
Is it so difficult to getting into a medical school who has some gap years?
If you’re a citizen or permanent resident, you can as easily get to med school from a lac or from a large university with PhD programs. No difference whatsoever. What matters is being in the top 10-20% students in each class you take, plus relevant volunteer and research experience.
There are limited scholarships for international students in us liberal arts colleges. If you have incredible academics and a unique reason for why they should offer you a scholarship, then you should apply. If you have average grades and your only reason to expect financial aid is that your parents aren’t rich, that alone isn’t a great reason for them to give you a scholarship. Scholarships are typically only meant to help the smartest international students. You have to bring something special to the college.
On your other question, LACs are as successful in sending kids to med school as the big universities. You simply structure your curriculum to fulfill the courses med schools want to see you having studied. You can also apply to us med schools easily after having completed college in the us. But you should be realistic with your expectations. Is there anything special about you? Do you have a 4.0 GPA, 2200+ sat, great extra curricular activities, wonderful essays, have you won any major awards, will you get incredible recommendations from your teachers? Are you no 1 or 2 in your school? If the answer is yes, you have a good chance. If not, you might get admission but no or very little financial aid.

The mission of US SOMs is to educate future US doctors. Some accept a couple of exceptional int’l students each year, but admission is so difficult that it should not be counted on. PLUS, typically you’d have to show that you have the CASH to pay for all 4 years of med school…and put that money into escrow.
how could you become a PR? You have to show that you have personal financial support.
