It is hard to find information on this program other than the website. American students do apply, get accepted, and go on to practice (supposedly). About half of the students are from Malaysia.

Olomouc is a few hours from Prague by train ($57 each way). Weather is not too bad; it gets as cold as New York City in the winter.

Cost of living is nearly half in the states. Food is GOOD, except stinky cheese!!

Language barrier is present but not too much of an issue.

Entrance exam is waived if MCAT is 27+ and/or if graduate science degree. Interview is in English.

If I was you I would try and get into Brno, its by far a better school and its a MUCH nicer place to live.

Try prague also however the cost of living in Prague is much higher.

Yes indeed, Brno is a much nicer place to live in...it's the 2nd biggest city in the CR and has a good social life too. Olomouc on the other hand...can be quite boring (that's what I heard from two of the students studying there....although the university is still good.)
