<p>I am an international student from the University of Heidelberg, Germany who graduated this year with a Bachelor of Science degree. Currently, I am studying in the U.S. for one year under a Fulbright Fellowship. I am basically completing laboratory rotations and attend a few graduate courses. </p>
<p>My plan is to apply to a few Ph.D. Programs in the field of Molecular Biology or Biomedical Sciences this fall (preferable a graduate school with close collaboration to a Medical School). Since admission is usually very restrictive for international students, do you know of Ph.D. Programs that admit a larger percentage of international students (and not just one or two students each year)? </p>
<p>So far, I know that Baylor College of Medicine and Washington University in St. Louis have a large percentage of international students.
Thanks for all of your help!</p>
<p>My program (Harvard BBS) is about 15% international in my year. I'm not sure if that's a high or low percentage.</p>
<p>I don't know about many other programs, although an international friend of mine was told while interviewing that Stanford's Biosciences program admits very few international students -- each individual program admits only one or two per year.</p>
<p>I heard that Medical Schools are usually more restrictive/limited in funding international students than Arts&Sciences Departments. Medical School apparently receive federal/gov't grants which can only be used to support domestic students. Do you know if that is true? </p>
<p>Almost all biology PhD programs rely heavily on government grants to fund PhD students, whether in a medical school or an arts and sciences department.</p>
<p>Schools that are willing to pay for international students out of their own pockets are usually those with significant additional money.</p>
