If you have an American Bachelor’s degree, you’ll be considered the same.
Some schools don’t take students without permanent residencies.

Bear in mind though, USA isn’t really the place where most international students want to study medicine. Most of them go to the UK.

Some will need an escrow account that you bank in 4 years of tuition in advance or something like that if you’re accepted.

It’s hard to get into med school IF you have a foreign Bachelor’s degree and for some schools, you have to take an extra year of college classes IN the USA in order to be considered. Also, it’s SO MUCH easier to get into residency if you’ve graduated from an American med school compared to a foreign med school.

Basically, if you are sure that you want to study medicine in the USA, you should study for your bachelor’s here because it will help you a lot. TONS!

my friend is regretting that she is going to Australia because it will be very very hard for her to get into dentistry/med school here after she graduates.

Good luck! (I wanna go to med school too!)
