Intl Pre-med = rejection?

Thank you for your valuable insight! I was already half-looking up my options to pursue my medical education elsewhere after my undergrad!
Your comment on the level of competition between american/intl students provided they have great stats is a bit odd, however. The various university “viewbooks” I’ve seen so far ( with the exception of Brown’s, perhaps) seem to state that there are almost no places for intl students available at US medical schools and that they certainly would not be considered on par with american students. As a result, they seem to discourage international aspiring doctors from applying to their schools in the first place (probably in fear of “wasting” money on an applicant who may not get into medical school in the U.S. anyway because of their international status).
Where do you get your information? Perhaps I’m taking things too negatively!

I’m planning on pursuing a biochemistry major with a minor in arts.
