Kaplan's "MCAT Advantage - Anywhere" COURSE REVIEW, Part 2: Materials

Image
As I said in the first part of this review , I decided to take the online Kaplan prep course for the dreaded MCAT exam. If you are considering enrolling in it as well but are still not sure, read below, as this time I will present all the online materials included in the test preparation package along with the course. I hope that by the end of my course review series you will have an idea of what Kaplan's "MCAT Advantage - Anywhere" course is all about, so let's start another part! Last time, I talked about the physical package that you receive via mail once you sign up for the course. The main bulk of material that you get, however, is available to you online, accessible once you get enrolled in your course. It is a good idea to go through all of this before you start your course so that you know your tools - but as this is one of the purposes of this review, you have a chance to go through these materials even before you purchase your course, so read closely.

US and Canadian Medical Schools Accepting International Students, Full Statistics

Image
As I mentioned in my old list of medical schools , it is not easy for international students to get accepted to an American medical college. In addition to the official resources mentioned in the article above, I would like to add the official statement by the Harvard pre-med advising office : Gaining admission to U.S. medical schools and obtaining funding to pursue that education can be difficult for individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Many medical schools will review the application of an international student without any bias, but many others, particularly state schools, admit few if any international students. International students are usually only eligible for the more selective private schools. The complete list of US and Canadian medical schools that accepted international students in 2013 can be found in the interactive table below. During this year, the total of 1,088 non-US citizens/residents applied, 115 of which ( 10.6% ) matricul...

US Medical Schools Accepting Internationals

Image
PLEASE NOTE: UPDATED LIST OF US MEDICAL SCHOOLS ACCEPTING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS CAN BE FOUND HERE: http://premedusa.blogspot.com/2014/06/US-Medical-Schools-for-Internationals-Updated.html I am sure you have heard or read of it in various articles or here  and there : with the exception of Canadians, it is very hard for international students to be admitted to an American medical school. That is a fact. According to the official AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) report from 2011 , only some 13% of international applicants to medical schools in the US eventually matriculated. That is a really low number, considering that in comparison, up to a half of US-citizen applicants get admitted to at least one medical college - so why is that so? One of the main reasons for this is that unlike American citizens, internationals are not eligible for federal financial aid or loans, and so most often, they need to provide their own funding for the entire duration of their...
