U.S. Allopathic (MD) Medical Schools that Accept International Students
Do U.S. medical schools ever accept international students? Yes! However, it’s not very common, thus it is hypercompetitive and difficult. Some U.S. medical schools accept and matriculate a small number of international applicants into their programs. Less than a third of U.S. medical schools accept international students. The credential requirements vary from school to school and some schools actually state that they prefer U.S. citizens.

According to a 2023 AAMC report, of the 55,188 applicants to U.S. medical schools, 22,981 matriculated and just 287 were international/non-permanent resident (F-1) applicants. This is an acceptance rate of is 1.25 percent, compared to 42 percent for all matriculants. Also, less than a third of U.S. med schools even consider international applications.

Pre-Med Advising in College

Many colleges have pre-med/health profession advisors for their students to ensure that students fulfill their pre-med requirements to become a candidate when applying for medical school. They may even advise a student to consider a gap year.

However, based on our discussions with college students who have used their college pre-med/health profession advisors the details of clinical opportunities, doctor shadowing. medical school admissions profile, medical school branding, and their relationship to the actual medical school application and secondary applications and resumes are rarely discussed. When I review their resumes, they are lacking depth or the appropriate clinical, research or volunteer experiences necessary to be a competitive medical school candidate.

So, what should a college student who wishes to be competitive medical school applicant do to stand out and increase their chances of acceptance to medical schools? HIRE AN EXPERT with experience and a track record of medical acceptances!

How to Write a Meaningful Medical School Application Personal Statement

Medical school essays are important because they go beyond academic metrics like GPA and MCAT scores. They provide medical school admissions committees with a deeper understanding of your personality, motivations, and suitability of becoming a medical doctor. They should be written to allow you, a medical school applicant, to showcase your unique experiences, skills, and qualities, helping you stand out from other highly qualified candidates.

The personal statement must be indeed personal! It must reveal something meaningful that connects to readers and be convincing narrative about why medical school is important to the applicant’s life as well as a commitment to medicine.

A well-written essay can significantly impact your chances of acceptance, especially at competitive schools. Most importantly, one has to recognize that the personal statement is a crucial element of the medical school application and must complement the other components of the application effectively.

As medical school admissions advisor, Dr. Lowe collaborates with clients to brainstorm essay ideas based on the profile and admissions brand developed for each client. After clients write their drafts, Dr. Lowe and his team assist in revising their drafts based on student resumes, admissions Zoom meetings, mock interviews and other application components.

Dr. Lowe knows that his clients’ personal statements successfully communicate their personalities, unique interests and attributes, experiences and true desires to be medical doctors, because they are ACCEPTED TO MEDICAL SCHOOLS!

Gap Year Before Medical School
In my 29 years’ experience as an admissions advisor, I have encountered many students who take a Gap year due to various circumstances before applying to medical school depending on their particular circumstances. The most prevalent reasons I have seen are (1) Fulfilling prerequisites and strengthening their GPA by completing additional coursework or (2) Needing more to study and take the MCATs (perhaps because of a low score). For some students, they want it to augment their medical school admissions profile by volunteering, shadowing or research.

Whatever the case, as a Gap year applicant, you will be competing for coveted medical school spots with college juniors who are applying, students who have been rejected and post-bacc applicants.

As a medical school admissions advisor with 29 years of experience, my acceptance rate for Gap year students has been 95%, and this year (2025), all (100%) of my Gap year medical school applicants were accepted.

You may ask, how do I achieve this Gap year client acceptance rate?
1. I enhance my clients’ medical school admissions profiles.
2. I understand the risks and mistakes that can be avoided.
3. Through my medical school networks and contacts, I know what schools are seeking in Gap year applicants.
4. I ensure that my clients’ AMCAS applications are complete, compelling and convincing.
5. My team and I assist my clients in cultivating acceptance type personal statement and secondary essays.
6. I practice one-one interview preparation sessions with each client to enhance their interview and communication skills.
7. I utilize my networks and contacts to help my clients.
8. Most importantly, I work directing with each client – Direct Expert Access (Clients work directly with Dr. Paul Lowe)

Medicine Is the Highest Paying Job
Medicine is the highest paying job

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the jobs with the highest pay in the United States are all in medicine. That’s right! Being medical doctor is the highest paying profession. In fact, you’ll see quite a few physician specialists among the top 20 highest-paying occupations identified by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the jobs (medical doctor) that receive median incomes equal to or greater than $208,000 per year on average. Additionally, these medical specialties have the highest job security!

Here is a list of the medical specialties in alphabetical order (with salary according to Salary.com) Based on HR-reported data: a national average with a geographic differential.
- Anesthesiologists: $309,679 – $522,121
- Cardiologists (non-invasive): $266,793 – $586,410
- Cardiologist (invasive): $322,820 – $725,139
- Dermatologists: $270,675 – $488,466
- Emergency medicine physicians: $244,572 – $434,088

A specialized surgeon, for example, an orthopedic surgeon or an invasive cardiologist can earn as high as $25,000,000 (total career earnings)
