UCLA Foreign Applicants

[shane.]

Members don't see this ad.

So I have a question about admission for foreign applicants. On their website UCLA requires that all foreign applicants must,

"complete ALL pre-dental pre-requisites at a U.S college or university accredited by the Association of American Universities."

I wasn't able to obtain any info from the Association of American Universities website on accredited institutions.

All I can say is that my University (located in Canada, by the way) was on the drop down list in the AADSAS application.

And yes I have sent this question to UCLA by email. Does admissions have a telephone number?

Thanks!

All Canadian universities are accredited. Although this is never stated, I believe 'foreign' refers to all applicants/schools outside of North America, even though, we are technically 'foreign'.

Great, thanks!

FYI
UCLA accepts only US citizens and permanent residents

That's probably a good requirement to consider. I think NJ accepts only Americans and permanent residents as well.

Yeah, I thought UCLA doesn't accept any foreigners.
I think it is stated somewhere on its website.
UCSF accepts foreigners, however it states that foreigners shouldn't apply unless they have superior qualification. Which is pretty crazy, considering that people who get accepted to UCSF have both good g.p.a, and DAT score. This makes me think.. what kind of scores do you need to get into UCSF as a foreign student?? 😕
