Applicants who are permanent residents are they at a certain disadvantage when applying for medical schools? Also, any permanent residents who've been accepted over the past year, any feedback?
No... you're treated as an american. Some schools ask that you bring proof of residency (i.e. green card) with your or send them a copy. But I've forgotten every single time and they haven't bothered with it.
I'm pretty sure as a permanent resident, you don't get any disadavantage. You're treated the same as anyone else. Now if you were an illegal alien, that's probably different.
My boyfriend who is in med school now is a permanent resident, so there are definitely permanent residents in med school!

No, but I have two friends who rushed off to get their citizenship before applying becuase they somehow felt that they would be at a disadvantage with a green card.
