<p>I just noticed your earlier post where you said your parents are Canadians. </p>

<p>Are you a US or a Canadian citizen?</p>

<p>If you’re not a US citizen it is going to be extremely difficult for you to attend a US medical school because you will be considered an international applicant. (All Us medical schools consider Canadians international applicants.)</p>

<p>I was born in the us, But I got my Canadian resident when I was small. I lived in Canada when I was three. I most probably go to ucf since it close by. I’m hoping that if I gradate from ucf they’re let me enter their medical program too.</p>

<p>UrbanGardener - your post #33 sounds like a great start to a personal statement. Too bad your DS didn’t write it!</p>

<p>If you were born in the US to Canadian parents and later received Canadian residency, your US citizenship may have been surrendered at that time. That’s something you need to check on.</p>

<p>Is that so? I didn’t know that. Well I just asked my dad, and he said that was back in the 1600s. So I still have my us citizenship and Canadian residency. </p>

<p>As of right know I’m going to work on studying for the MCAT and getting into UCF. Once I get my MCAT score and a high GPA, I’ll make a another forum to help figure out what medical school to go to. Thanks you all from helping me this far. :)</p>

<p>No United States citizenships were surrendered during the 1600s on account of the putative citizen’s obtaining residency in Canada.</p>

<p>If the student is getting Bright Futures in Florida, wouldn’t that mean that he’s either a citizen or Perm Res?</p>

<p>Right now is not the time to be studying for the MCAT. That’s putting the cart before the horse. You have a very important priority that must come first…transferring to UCF and getting a high GPA there. Once you’ve taken all your premed prereqs and you have a “med school appropriate GPA” then prepare for the MCAT.</p>

<p>In the 1600s, there was no Canada (as country, as opposed to a colony) and there was no United States.</p>

<p>In any case, neither Canada nor the United States prohibits dual citizenship.
