How will you pay/are paying for medical school in United states? Which lender are you borrowing from? There are many private lenders out there. I'm confused. Please help. Thanks in advance
International/Canadian students
- Thread starter ruck
- Start date
First of all few schools will accept international students I dont know about Canadians though, as many med schools want their in state residents only or at least first. I think your best bet and mine are the private schools who dont have this restriction which is usually a condition for them to continue to get their public (state/federal) funding. I think most schools want ALL the money up front so its not like when i came here for undergrad of my masters where you had to prove you had the money for one year, they want all 4 yrs worth. At least Duke and Stanford do I looked it up today actually. International students I was told when I got here for undergrad dont get loans as we could just high tail it home with all their $$$$
I plan to finish my masters save up for 5 years and then proceed to med school. My dream will not die when I walk across that stage to get my business MBA next May.

Some medical schools have financial aid for Canadians/Intl students. ie. Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Vanderbilt, Brown, Dartmouth. Also there is a loan program for canadians called CANhelp (http://www.iefc.com/canada/can_index.cfm).

Second that - I'm international and got accepted to Columbia during the last app cycle. All of the above schools do give pretty decent financial aid to int'ls with the exception of Brown, sadly - since I'm a Brown alum.
But to the OP - good luck, be persistent. There's money to be found out there ...
