Which US schools accept Canadians?

As the title implies, does anyone know where I can get a list of US schools that admit Canadians, preferrably those that don't put us in a separate (and smaller/harder) application pool from US students? Any idea on what kind of GPA + MCAT are required for these schools, and how much importance ECs have?

Thanks. 🙂

This has been covered ad nauseam on SDN. A quick search should pull that up. Briefly, a 3.5 GPA and 30 MCAT will make you competitive. Canadians are not treated differently at most of the private medical schools and several states school (like Penn State, Wayne state, SUNY Upstate, and MCW) will accept Canadian students. You might also try this forum: http://p090.ezboard.com/fpremed101frm80, and this thread in particular: http://p090.ezboard.com/fpremed101frm21.showMessage?topicID=93.topic

From what I have read on previous threads, you're going to be treated the same. Which of course means that your grades and MCAT scores will be held to the same competitive numbers as US applicants. Good luck!

Hi Scottish Chap,

Thanks for the links, and bear in mind that I did a search on here for the topic. There should really be a FAQ thread in this forum because I *KNOW* it has been asked before, I just couldn't find anything when I did my search.
