International Students

International students face two major obstacles to pursuing an MD degree at a U.S. medical school: limited number of available slots and scarcity of funding. Many medical schools do not accept any international applicants (i.e., not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident); other schools may accept only a few. The AAMC's Applicants to U.S. Medical Schools by In- or Out-of-State Matriculation Status, 2011 notes that of 1,331 foreign applicants in 2011, only 155 matriculated. International students should consult the individual school's websites or entries in the Medical School Admission Requirements to determine whether applications are accepted from international applicants.
