to Johns Hopkins from Canada

[Ella Shepherd]

I'm not Canadian but my family and I might be moving to Canada in a few years. By that time, I'll probably be done with my pre-med. I'd like to get into a US med school. I know it's too early to think about which med school and all that, after all, it isn't easy to get into med school.

I was just wondering if Johns Hopkins (where I dream to go to but have to be realistic about) accepts applicants from Canada? You see, I've been coming across threads and posts lately where students seem to express the difficulty of Canadians to get into US med schools. Why is that? Aren't Canadians classified under international students, too? (Of course it's hard for international students to get into a US med school, but why does it seem to be that some US med schools don't allow Canadian applicants?) And shouldn't it actually be sorta easier for Canadians to apply seeing as they're right beside the US?

Sorry. I really don't know the issue here, or even if there is any. (I hope there isn't any!) I just really want to know if Johns Hopkins allows Canadian applicants. I'd also appreciate it if someone will clear this "issue" up for me. Thanks! 🙂

If you are an american citizen then moving to Canada will not change that fact.
You probably have nothing to worry about.

As an aside, Johns Hopkins DOES accept Canadians.

How much is Hopkins medical school tuition?

As an American you would have no problems. As a Canadian having applied to the US this year, I can tell you that it is really hard to get an acceptance. However, this does not apply to you. Also, keep in mind that there is no such thing as a pre med degree in Canada.

International students at Hopkins are required to pay (or keep in escrow) the full four year tuition upfront, and are NOT eligible for financial aid.

Just something to keep in mind...

Yes but if you are an American living in Canada, you are still an American. You are not considered International.

Sigh.

Oh SDN.
