说点这里医学院有趣的事:
医学院里一门主要的课是怎么当医生。其中见病人、问诊是医生必备。遇见的病人有多种多样,对不同的病患要不同对待。开始时是练习同学之间问诊,后来到医院和医生一同问诊。最有意思的是,学校花钱请一些专业演员当病患,一些很难缠的病患。给这些演员看病实在是不容易,这样练习未来医生的应变能力。这个请演员的方法还真挺有意思。
向聪明而勤奋的爸爸致敬!是你在优秀的女儿背后做了大量的功课。这么繁杂的关系,各个学校的特征,我们看着现成的都头大,但这确是你一点点收集整理而成,这需要多少耐心和动力啊!你的付出导致孩子成功的必然。爸爸,女儿!加拿大人申请美国医学院,就是国际学生。美国接受国际学生申请的学校数字分别为06年入学国际学生申请数/面试数/录取数:

-全美医学院在一百四十所以上,接受国际学生的超过六十所,这个数量并不少,但是这仅仅是接受申请的,还有很多有进一步的限制,比如要求本科在北美完成一定年数(1-3年),或者干脆要求北美的本科学历,甚至只能美国的。有些给本州或者本国的学生优先权。有些对于资金的证明很苛刻,必须拿出4年的全部费用证明才考虑录取,等等。具体的需要联系具体学校。
-这些数字来自于08年入学版的MSAR(Medical School Admission Requirements),这本书被誉为申请医学院的圣经,由AAMCAssociation of American Medical Colleges)每年出版-从MSAE给的数字来看,Boston University School of Medicine 申请人最多,06年共有超过1万人申请,1038面试,179录取,是北美唯一申请人过万的医学院。
-书上列出的这些医学院名单和AAMC网站上的有轻微的差异,所以不全面,作为参考可以。
AAMC 网站列出的名单:Medical Schools Participating in AMCAS for the 2008 Entering Class http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/participatingschools.htm
-纽约、麻省、宾夕法尼亚和加州等几个地方对国际学生的政策要明显的宽松,但申请人也相应增多
-估计国际学生里加拿大的要占至少近一半,甚至一半以上,因为有几所只接受加拿大学生作为国际学生的(没有列),申请人都达到二三百以上。
-还有一点增加了申请难度,这六十多所医学院大多排名比较靠前,换句话说竞争更激烈,录取更严格,一般的ave. GPA达到3.75,好一点的3.8以上,MCAT成绩普遍高于全国平均水平。好几所学校的verbal reasoning平均分竟然达到11,而physical sciences和biological sciences也分别达到12,这样算来MCAT平均总分高达35,写作也有Q(from J low to T high)
-MSAR里说,据U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services的数字显示,The 2006 entering class at U.S. medical schools included 297 students who were not U.S. citizens or who were not permitted to reside permanently in the States.
-这个单子不包括大部分德克萨斯州的医学院,它们有自己的组织,TMDSAS(Texas Medical & Dental Schools Application Service ),具体情况会再整理,初步的了解为至少部分学校招收国际学生。
-以上所有学校,只有十几所最终没有录取任何国际学生,其余52所医学院均有至少一名以上的国际学生被录取。最多国际学生申请的依然是Boston University School of Medicine 共520个人申请,最终录取10个,最少的为Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine 没有国际学生申请,其次为Mayo Medical School 只有16个申请录取国际学生最多的是Harvard Medical School 17人,其次为Howard University College of Medicine;Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine/Chicago School of Medicine;State University of New York Upstate Medical University 各14人,超过10人的还有,Loma Linda University School of Medicine 12人,Yale University School of Medicine 11人,Boston University School of Medicine 10 人,Dartmouth Medical School 10人,Mount Sinai School of Medicine of New York University 10人,Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine 10人。这10所学校共录取了122个国际学生,在总数的五分之二强
录取率最高的则是 University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas Southwestern Medical School 75/2/6/8% 和 University of Kentucky College of Medicine 76/-/6/7.8% 以及 Mcgill University Faculty of Medicine 149/47/9/6%
上面录取国际学生总数比较多的10所学校,国际学生占总录取学生比例也比较高,最高的四所为,Dartmouth Medical School 10/82 12%, Howard University College of Medicine 14/118 11.8%,Yale University School of Medicine 11/99 11%,Harvard Medical School 17/165 10%.
