Even though I've been in us for 8years, my status is still a foreign student. I took the april mcat and i got 23 and verbal section(6)is really hard for me.I heard it's hard to get in for international students. so i was wondering if there is anybody who is international student. and also want to know if it's possible for international student to get a loan.

Thanks.
 
As far as my understanding, only few allopathic schools will take international students. I don't think osteopathic school will do the same thing (correct me if I am wrong). You can check with AOA and see how they will handle your case.
For being a international student, you can't not get loan from US government, but you can get money from private source (if your credit record is good). A 6 in the verbal is not too bad, but your status is probably the major issue preventing you from study medicine in US. Hope this helps.
