I was wondering it anyone knew if Canadians have a good shot at the pre-med programs offered at US medical schools? I have heard that some medical schools offer pre-med programs for kids out of high school (could have heard wrong). Does anyone know if Canadians are eligeable for some of these or if they have a good shot? I have a 3.7 GPA after two university years and no mcat and I want to head down there as soon as possible (for many reasons). I recieved 90's during high school. Any ideas on how I can get info on this? Any americains have any input? Any one know which pre-med programs are the easiest to get into and that I would have the best shot at considering I am Canadian

I called one in New York - they have a premed program but I was told it lasted 4 years and does not guarantee you passage into medical school once you complete it - it is simply an undergrad program geared to medicine. I was under the impression that there are 5/6 programs in the states that are like in Australia and Ireland where if you are accepted into the premed program you are in for good and will become a doctor. Am I mistaken? Do you know of the schools in the US that offer a premed program like Australia and Ireland or where I could obtain a list of them?

If there are programs like this I woul like to try getting into one. I am worried that I am too late though since it is quite late in the year.

Hey,

I think you should try to look into transferring into those combined programs with Bsc/MD tracks.. that way you r guranteed admission if you get in.

Look into those , it might help.

Gluck.
