Because of the limited availability of financial aid/loans/scholarships for international students at most US medical schools, it can be very difficult for even exceptionally qualified international students needing financial support to gain admission to medical school in the US even after completing a bachelor’s degree domestically. In most circumstances, we try to encourage international students who know they are committed to medicine whose home countries have strong medical programs (or relationships with other countries with strong medical programs) to strongly consider options closer to home before considering options in the US.
