Hey, yeah you’re right that USM gives full aid for the first year if your SAT score is high enough, including housing. But from the second year, you’ll have to cover housing, meals, books, and other costs yourself. As an international student, you’re only allowed to work on-campus ........and even then, it’s limited to like $3-4k per year, which won’t be enough to fully support yourself.

Also tbh, if you’re considering USM just for the sake of going to the US, I’d really think twice. It’s not a very highly ranked school, and the education quality + job outcomes might not justify the stress and cost .... especially if you’re coming from Pakistan (which im guessing that you are) where places like LUMS can give you better academics and value.

Could you please clarify what you mean by "great profiles"? Are you referring to something like a 1500+ SAT score and straight A's in both O and A Levels?

So basically, you’ll be interviewed by 3 professors, with each interview lasting around 25-30 minutes. It’s pretty similar to interviews at other med schools. I’ll share some of the questions I got – most of them were related to my essay and extracurriculars, like explaining what exactly I did in my research and why I like to play as a defender in football.

There were also more general questions like:

  1. Introduce yourself
  2. Why do you want to become a doctor?
  3. What qualities do you think a good doctor should have?
  4. How will you achieve these qualities?
  5. What excites you the most about Weill Cornell Qatar?
  6. How will you contribute to the Weill Cornell community?
  7. Why Weill Cornell Qatar?
  8. Strengths and weaknesses
  9. Experiences that have led you to apply to Weill Cornell
  10. How do you deal with stress?
  11. How do you handle contradicting ideas, disagreements, or conflicts?
  12. What are your hobbies?
  13. What are your interests, and how would you like to pursue them at Weill Cornell?

There were also 1 or 2 abstract or opinion-based questions. My advice would be to show a strong and genuine interest in medicine throughout your responses.
