Best college for pre-med?

@MYOS1634 and @Hell00
Some DO programs will consider International students for admission; however, the latest available data from AACOMAS shows there are exactly 0 (zero) international students enrolled in the 38 US osteopathic med schools. (See above)

Again, there is no financial aid available to attend osteopathic med schools which are largely private schools with very limited endowments.

PA programs are just as competitive for admission as medical schools. But 165 PA programs say they will consider internationals for admission. Neither PANCE nor CASPA provide any data on the numbers of internationals enrolled. PA school requires several hundred hours (500 to 2000) of PAID healthcare employment as an admission pre-req–something which an international may find difficult to obtain given the restrictions of a student visa.

Nursing programs may offer a better route to a healthcare career, but I don’t know if international non-residents are eligible for state nursing licenses.
