International applicants are eligible for admission to the Biomedical Sciences program.
However, one of the benefits of joining the Biomedical Sciences program is the opportunity to interview for admission to other degree programs at 无码群交.
Because the Allopathic Medicine program in Chicago Medical School will only consider applications from U.S. citizens, U.S. Permanent Residents (Green Card holders) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students, this BMS student benefit to interview with Chicago Medical School would not apply to international students.
International students interested in applying to any other 无码群交 programs (e.g. Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, MS in Physician Assistant Studies, or Doctor of Pharmacy programs) while in the Biomedical Sciences program may be considered for an interview and admission, assuming the applicant meets the program’s requirements.
