US and Canadian Medical Schools Accepting International Students, Full Statistics


As I mentioned in my old list of medical schools, it is not easy for international students to get accepted to an American medical college. In addition to the official resources mentioned in the article above, I would like to add the official statement by the Harvard pre-med advising office:
Gaining admission to U.S. medical schools and obtaining funding to pursue that education can be difficult for individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Many medical schools will review the application of an international student without any bias, but many others, particularly state schools, admit few if any international students. International students are usually only eligible for the more selective private schools.
The complete list of US and Canadian medical schools that accepted international students in 2013 can be found in the interactive table below. During this year, the total of 1,088 non-US citizens/residents applied, 115 of which (10.6%) matriculated (from the official AAMC table). To the best of my knowledge, a summarizing list for international students of similar extent has not been previously published.


Manual for the table:
  • Click on the heading of each column to SORT by each category (ascending/descending order)
  • Click on the name of each respective school to be redirected to the admissions website
  • "St" = "State" (Canadian provinces and Puerto Rico are in lowercase)
  • "$Cost" = Annual cost of attendance for international students including tuition, living, and other expenses in 2013/2014
  • "GPA" = Average GPA of all admitted students in 2013 entry class
  • "MCAT" = Average MCAT score of all admitted students in 2013 entry class
  • "Can?" = Indicates whether the school accepts Canadian citizens only (apart from US citizens); if "No," all international students are considered for admission
  • "%Int's Matriculated" = Percentage of international MD applicants (possibly including students with "Legal Residence Unknown") who matriculated in 2013 [applied/interviewed/MD matriculated/MD-PhD matriculated]; where in brackets, figure was "0" in 2013, so the stated value is from 2012 (For example: Keck U SCali had 0 international students accepted in 2013 [="0.00%"], but 1 student was accepted in 2012 [="(1)"])
  • "Rank" = 2015 U.S.News Best Medical Schools Ranking
