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.
