<p>Hey guys, I'm from Lebanon and not from the US. That's why, I'm not familiar with universities that have excellent premed/med programs except for the commonly known ones like Harvard, UPenn, NYU, Yale, Vanderbilt and those elitous schools. </p>
<p>However, I would like to know about other universities that have great medicine programs. Do you know what I mean?
If you don't please ask. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestion. But Johns Hopkins is also a commonly known university. </p>
<p>I can say I want to get into Harvard or Johns Hopkins, but there is obviously a bunch of universities with great med schools that I don’t know of. Thanks again!</p>
<p>Greeneyedsoul, the way you phrase your question suggests that you may not realize that in the US, unlike in many other countries, medicine is studied at the graduate level, while pre-med requirements can be met at many, many undergraduate schools. And those undergraduate schools don’t have to be affiliated with a medical school at all. To make things more complicated, there are some undergraduate schools that are affiliated with medical schools and offer combined undergrad and medical degrees in programs that last 6 or more years–admission to these is very competitive. Most physicians in the US will not have taken that route.</p>
<p>So what is it you want to know? Are you interested in undergraduate schools where you can do pre-med (there are tons), or in medical schools that are attended after one completes an undergraduate degree (not something you need to focus on until you are settled into your pre-med studies), or in schools that offer a combined program?</p>
<p>US MD schools rarely accept international students. Many accept NO int’ls. You really need to look in your own country.</p>
<p>The purpose of US MD schools is to educate future American doctors…that’s why so very, very, very few int’ls are accepted. the ones that are accepted usually have some rare hook.</p>
<p>virtually all univs in the US are fine for premed. There isn’t such a thing as a “premed program”. Premed classes are REGULAR classes that other STEM students take…bio, chem, ochem, physics, etc. They’re not special classes.</p>
<p>I know about the Pre-med and med system in the US. I just need to get to know more universities that are good in medicine. That’s all.</p>

<p>U Rochester, Pittsburgh, Case Western, U Miami… all good and possibly what you are looking for? Ditto what others said about internationals and med school admissions though.</p>
<p>I know about the Pre-med and med system in the US. I just need to get to know more universities that are good in medicine. That’s all.</p>
<p>If that were true then you wouldn’t be asking which are “good in medicine”. </p>
<p>Medicine isn’t taught at the undergrad level. Pre-med classes aren’t “good in medicine” classes.</p>
<p>OP is from Lebanon. Not a lot of good med schools to choose from. Not a lot of good undergrad schools from which to choose. Wants to come to the US where there are dozens and dozens of good med schools and at least a couple hundred undergraduate programs where OP can be well prepared to apply to med schools somewhere other than Lebanon probably. </p>
<p>Our problem is that OP doesn’t know how to rank those couple hundred good pre-med programs and, really, neither do we. So why don’t we have OP list all the pre-med programs OP thinks of as elite and then we’ll come up with a dozen or so more. In the meantime, OP can also tell us why OP doesn’t want to apply to Harvard and the other schools OP has named. What OP might also want to know is what pre-med programs don’t limit their support to only those students they choose to recommend to the med schools.</p>
<p>Does that make sense? OP, if you agree, you’re up to bat.</p>
<p>We need to also know your stats and how much your family will pay.</p>
<p>But again, understand, there are many int’ls who do their “premed” in the US only to find out that they don’t get accepted to med schools here. So, hopefully you have some other countries where you can go to med school.</p>
<p>Also…for med school, if you do somehow get super-dooper-lucky and get accepted, your family will have to show that you have full funds to attend. Usually the med schools require you to deposit all the funds into an “escrow” acct and from that your med school costs will get covered. There aren’t loans here for int’l med students.</p>
