I have not but I will try looking into it!Have you connected with Resources | F-1 Doctors ? I am swayed that you could apply to brand-name programs that accept internationals, but you should do homework on them. (See the schools represented by that organization.)
Find a supportive community and student services infrastructure. I don't exactly have an idea of your mission fit to handicap your chances, but you should get attention for interviews.I have not but I will try looking into it!
Can you explain me exactly what I should look into regarding those competitive programs? Do you mean like their missions or their GPA requirements?
Also do you have any other particular comment on what I should do to improve my application? is it competitive enough?
Thank you very much!
Thank you! I was mostly worried about my GPA and having CC courses on transcript, but if that doesn't harm my chances (especially as an intl. applicant) then I hope that the rest of my app is convincing enough.Find a supportive community and student services infrastructure.

Go to the Loma Linda website. I excluded schools that admit 2 or fewer internationals. For schools that admit only 1 or 2, the candidates are usually internal. Your ECs are good.Thank you for your reply!
What is Loma Linda's mission exactly? And also, do you think I can add more of the top schools that fully fund students in-need or is there any particular reason I should not? Since I will be taking one gap year at least, what other parts of my app do u think I should work on?
Do you think my GPA or transcript containing classes from a CC can impact my chances negatively? I've read multiple times about how a good mcat doesnt necessarily make up for a bad gpa.

Your GPA is not bad. You have 4.0 for 3 years in a row.Do you think my GPA or transcript containing classes from a CC can impact my chances negatively? I've read multiple times about how a good mcat doesnt necessarily make up for a bad gpa. Thanks
Yeah, and to second that - they have a perfect MCAT and strong ECs. If they weren't international, they'd be Harvard material. They still may be.Your GPA is not bad. You have 4.0 for 3 years in a row.
Sorry if this question is stupid but for my 3rd & 5th year I have less credits than 1/2/4th year (because some semesters are internships), I still took 1-2 courses even during my work terms (mostly bio/orgo pre-reqs) but its not as heavy as an entire school year, do you think this means anything to the admissions committees? and would they downplay the improvement because I had less credits?Your GPA is not bad.

Make sure you read the 2025 AMCAS applicant guide:Sorry if this question is stupid but for my 3rd & 5th year I have less credits than 1/2/4th year (because some semesters are internships), I still took 1-2 courses even during my work terms (mostly bio/orgo pre-reqs) but its not as heavy as an entire school year, do you think this means anything to the admissions committees? and would they downplay the improvement because I had less credits?
Also, how do you think I should be classifying 5ys of courses into the 4ys categorization (freshman/soph/junior/senior) ?
@Mr.Smile12 do u have any idea about how I should approach this if u dont mind!
Thank you all! Sorry i'm totally clueless about the AMCAS stuff
