Where to start?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I have a friend who just came from China who is looking to get her graduates in regards to medicine. Since She resides in New York, her choices so far (but not limited to) seem to be Mount Sinai, Colombia, and NYU. She is a straight "A" student with a perfect GPA, capable of doing what needs to be done in order to succeed, but she doesn't know where to start (nor do I).</p>

<p>Since she is a international student, will it be harder for her to get accepted by the colleges I've mentioned?</p>

<p>What should she prepare? recommendation letters, her own unique letter as to why she should be accepted, etc etc?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that I've left a bunch of critical information out but if you need additional information, then just let me know and I will get them from her. In the mean time, I would like your help on what my friend needs to prepare and do in order to get to her destination smoothly.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Louis</p>

<p>You should post this in the Pre-Med/Med School sections [<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-medical-school/][/url”>Pre-Med & Medical School - College Confidential Forums][/url</a>]</p>

<p>and the international forum
[<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/][/url”>International Students - College Confidential Forums][/url</a>]</p>

<p>I honestly know nothing about Med school admission, but I know you need to take specific courses in undergrad. I think posters in the above 2 sections could give you better info.</p>
