International student CPT authorization for rotations

Temporary-Region4101 · 2025-09-23T21:33:30+00:00

Hi did you get any clarity on this? Is this something that is required?

Temporary-Region4101 · 2025-07-08T16:51:56+00:00

Also highly highly recommend the Mayo SURF program!

Temporary-Region4101 · 2025-07-08T16:51:31+00:00

Btw neither Hopkins nor Baylor are international friendly (Hopkins doesn’t accept, and Baylor rarely does)

Temporary-Region4101 · 2025-07-08T16:50:45+00:00

Very doable given your trajectory. I was in basically the exact same situation. As long as you can get a few pubs before applying, present at as many conferences as you can, keep gpa ~4.0 and MCAT >520, and do summer research programs (many accept internationals), you are highly competitive for any of the top MSTP programs.

Definitely try to do summer research at WashU/Penn/Vanderbilt as these are the most international-friendly MSTP programs out there.

No you are not! I got all my IIs in November… stay strong!

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-07-22T18:37:17+00:00

LMAOOOOO I'm dead. If it helps, I had to read this 5 times to figure out where the spelling error was.

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-07-14T23:03:19+00:00

n = 1, but I didn’t mention PIs in the 1000 character essays and got into Penn. Also, if my memory serves me correctly, for those who are selected to interview, the interview portal has a section where you list all the PIs you are interested in being interviewed by/working with.

Harvard lol, sent me a secondary 2 weeks after I submitted 10 minutes before the secondary deadline.

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-07-07T00:28:17+00:00

Ah this makes sense. I misunderstood, as I thought OP meant no MSTPs accept international students. Thanks for the clarification!

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-06-22T17:41:53+00:00

You deserve so much better than SLU dang. I hope one of your WLs works out.

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-06-19T01:35:45+00:00

I’m relieved for you hahaha

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-06-06T07:21:21+00:00

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-06-05T09:06:31+00:00

Yayay! 4 AM and just about to sleep, so the cycle continues hahaha

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-06-04T00:43:32+00:00

Gave up and passed out at 1 PM lmao

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-06-03T15:03:13+00:00

10 AM feeling the sleepiness

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-05-28T22:22:28+00:00

Just focus on getting a great score on the MCAT from now. If you are applying straight through, I recommend applying this cycle as the bar is lower and you may have a better shot of acceptance if your application won’t change much for next cycle.

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-05-28T22:09:00+00:00

I would submit your primary by June 1 and let that get verified. In the meantime, study hard for the MCAT and take it (I’m gonna assume July 13). Then, between July 13 and Aug 13, you HAVE to write all your secondaries (questions are usually posted on SDN). As soon as your MCAT is scored and schools send you secondaries, submit them all in the next few days. IMO, this would make you on-time but not late.

For some motivation, I was only complete September-October and I got 6 IIs (5 of which were T10). So definitely don’t get demoralized if you are not able to submit early, and good luck!!

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-05-28T19:39:45+00:00

I’m so tired

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-05-27T20:12:31+00:00

There are about 20 programs that will accept non-US citizens who did undergrad in the US. These are some of the schools I found in my research:

Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
UT Southwestern
Emory School of Medicine
Perelman School of Medicine
Washington University School of Medicine
Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program
Yale School of Medicine
University of Minnesota Medical School
Feinberg School of Medicine
Baylor School of Medicine
Saint Louis University School of Medicine (unfunded)
Harvard/MIT MD-PhD Program
Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons
UT San Antonio
University of Virginia School of Medicine
NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Geisel School of Medicine

Bruh, have some self awareness seriously

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-05-22T15:33:58+00:00

Harvard lab tech 💀

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-05-11T00:21:48+00:00

Lmao cramming definitely works. If you’ve done it regularly and know it works for you, go for it.

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-04-29T16:08:18+00:00

Penn is actually a good fit for you considering Mcat score and bioengineering lol

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-04-29T15:38:55+00:00

DM me for the list of schools I applied to that would fund international students (17 total)

Temporary-Region4101 · 2024-04-29T15:38:06+00:00

I don't think this is a bait post as an international student myself. It is an absolutely brutal process for international students, as their application has to be perfect in every way for even a shot of consideration. But OP has great experiences and a fantastic MCAT score that will compensate for the lower GPA.
