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.

U.S. BS/MD vs. India MBBS

March 22, 2025 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Several of the parents who have called me for BS/MD programs, because of the competitive nature of BS/MD program medical school admissions, have been asking me about comparing U.S. BS/MD vs India MBBS degree and whether there is an advantage to a U.S. BS/MD.

First let’s define the degrees: Doctor of Medicine (MD) is a professional (post graduate) degree given in some countries like the USA, Canada etc. Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) is the degree given in the United Kingdom, Ireland and other commonwealth countries like India and is considered equivalent to the MD.

For the Commonwealth countries, MBBS is an undergraduate course of study which is pursued by candidates who wish to make their career in the field of medicine. Whereas, MD is a postgraduate course that can be pursued by candidates who have completed their MBBS.

The US follows a different curriculum for obtaining a medical degree and license to practice Medicine. Unlike India, high school students apply to direct BS/MD programs and earn an M.D. upon completion of the program. Over the course of the program, the students have Pre-Medical courses and earn a Bachelor’s degree (up to four years of Undergraduate program), MD program (Four years) and USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1, 2 & 3). A Residency Program is required to complete the Licensing Exam. After completing all, a student

A student, after completion of MBBS, cannot practice directly since the basic level of study to practice is postgraduate medicine in the US. USMLE has clearly defined the medical courses after MBBS to be completed in the US.

Even with the competitive nature of U.S. BS/MD programs, because of my track record of admissions success, parents of U.S. citizen/permanent resident or H4 visa high school students should contact me!
