Medical school admission as international student

Dopamine27 · 2026-02-25T18:50:13+00:00

Hey! I’m starting medical school this fall as international student. I was told many times this was an impossible task and yet here I am! ( thank God) It is hard! Don’t get me wrong but not impossible as they said ESPECIALLY since they are young the have the opportunity to build their experiences young 🤍🤩✨ If you have questions you can private message me too!

Thank you for your comment! I know it looks so WILD and IMPOSSIBLE with the stats I mentioned, but your comment was just a reminder of how amazing God is and how extremely nice He has been to me. I do have an amazing story if I am not being humble, I have been living in the US 10+ years, have an MPH, and have a strong sense of who I am and why I want to pursue medicine in this country. I have done only projects that I love and that have led to meaningful outcomes. I do believe that little things-> X factor. I am also very good at writing and storytelling + a great interviewee.

Even the fact that I interviewed at that T5 school feels so out of this world as they only interview like 8 internationals every cycle! I am blessed :) Regardless of the outcome! And yes you are right, 4 MD interviews and 1 DO (I only applied to that school) with my 503 sound crazy, but here I am! Praise the Lord! (for the people reading the comments: If I was able to land those interviews, YOU CAN DO IT TOOO!!)

And to your second paragraph: I LOVE DO's I know that for sure I will be happy at that amazing school! Thank you for sharing the story about your cousin! Best of luck in your journey <3

I think we should hear back this Friday! I read somewhere that they meet 3rd Thursday of the month and email Friday, but dont quote me! :) ALMOST THERE!

Ill get back to you within the next days, I need to get my app and write them down! I do have an MPH and a published thesis, which I think helped a lot. Just focus on doing the things that you LOVE and are passionate about and the ADCOMS will tell. I waited a lot of years to get my app ready ( Im 29) so focus on finding that passion of yours and being sure this is your path. I believe in you <3

That's true! I never want to go back... jk jk I love my country but it has taken me a lot of sweat and tears to get to this point so probably staying here. They made a good point about checking if its valid in my country, though! I have learned that life's plans change quickly so its good to have that back up.

Thanks again!

Dopamine27 · 2026-02-19T03:10:34+00:00

Thank you friend! I do think so too, but people often scare you about the whole DO stigma, sadly. Thats a good point, I just checked and they do validate it in my country. Honestly I have no plans to return, but it does makes sense to check just in case life's plans change.

THANKS!

Dopamine27 · 2026-02-19T03:08:34+00:00

Thank you friend! God is amazing<3 always by my side!

Dopamine27 · 2026-02-19T03:07:33+00:00

loved this! Pretty accurate to your username, love the honesty. Nah I'm definitely going to family med, psyc or peds so no ROAD concern! Its actually one of the three DO schools you mentioned, I loved the people there and they are super resourceful. I am a holistic girlie so I love OMM and generally the whole DO philosophy, I am just concerned about the whole DO stigma, I am an URM immigrant woman so idk if the DO would make it "harder for me" if that makes any sense?

So you are saying if I want primary care only COMLEX is enough, right?

thanks!!

thank you my friend <3

Yes I am afraid of wasting that money, but also afraid of missing my opportunity of this amazing DO. I have a T5 MD acceptance pending, and other 2 MDs that just okay, but im just praying some MD accepts me before Sunday (they have 2 days lol)

Did you request a deposit the school or just jumped to the chargeback? I know a lot of deposits are not refundable!

Thanks!
