????? What does this mean?

 

[Dhmeylol]

It means, my government granted me a full scholarship (tuition + living expenses) until I get residency or fellowship.

Focus on schools with a history of accepting international students and you should be fine. The real challenge is finding residencies that will accomodate your visa type since residency is classified as work, not school.

Thanks. Yeah I'm aiming for private schools... but I'm too lazy to leave my undergraduate state...

The MSAR (Medical School Admission Requirements) book or individual school websites will tell you which schools accept internationals. Some of them are state schools. Last time I looked, UUtah wasn't among them, but policies can change.
