Can international students apply to US medical schools?
Yes, but acceptance rates for international applicants are very low (1–3% at top schools). Non-US citizen/PR applicants are ineligible for federal financial aid. Some allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) schools explicitly do not accept international applicants. Your consultant can identify the schools most open to international applications.
