Has anyone applied from abroad?

I need some advice. How did you manage secondaries? How many times did you come back for interviews? If anyone has any experience with this, I'd love to talk by email or messages or something. Thanks!

I applied from Germany. You will obviously have to go to the schools for the interviews, but most secondaries can be done from abroad (i.e. download and print out the secondary, then mail it). However, it helps if you have a US contact person (parent or family member) who can forward you the hard copy secondaries.

You'll probably want to put your US address as your mailing and contact address or else schools may consider you a foreign applicant, but I'm not sure how that works.

Anyway, the process can work from abroad, but be prepared to pay a lot of money on postage! : )

Good luck...

I applied from abroad. As long as you have an internet connection, things are quite easy. In terms of interviewing, I would definitely recommend applying as early as possible in the cycle (as soon as AMCAS starts accepting apps). This will allow you to wait for a couple interviews and schedule them so that they are close to each other.
