Harvard Medical School: We require that academic work done outside of the United States or Canada be supplemented by at least

one year of study in a college or university in the U.S. or Canada. If you have not met this requirement, then you are not eligible to apply for admissions. All of the foreign students that have been accepted in recent years have earned a baccalaureate degree from a college or university in this country or Canada. In many countries students enter medical school directly from advanced secondary school. If you are already enrolled in a medical school, you would not be eligible to apply for admissions. We are unable to accept students who wish to transfer from another medical school. The availability of financial aid to foreign citizens is less favorable than for students from the United States. Certain loans coming from the United States Government are restricted to U.S. citizens. Our academic requirements and application procedures are listed in the Medical School Admissions requirements book published yearly by the Association of American Medical Colleges. All applicants must take the Medical College Admissions Test administered by the American College Testing Program (see www.aamc.org). You can find more information on the World Wide Web: HMS Admissions Information: http://www.hms.harvard.edu/admissions/ HMS Course Catalog: http://medcatalog.harvard.edu/ HMS Web Site: http://www.med.harvard.edu Dartmouth Medical School Dear Prospective Transfer Applicant: Thank you for expressing an interest in transferring to Dartmouth Medical

School. Transfer applications may only be considered for entry into the second or third year classes, and is only possible when places are made available in a class as a result of current students leaving or taking leaves of absence. Typically, if we have openings, the number is very small. A decision regarding whether or not places will be available for 2004-05 will be made no sooner than late-February 2004. The deadline for transfer application materials is April 15 and decisions are made during the late spring months. You should be aware that transfers from foreign medical schools are considered for the year two class only and, unfortunately, we are unable to offer financial assistance to foreign citizens who are not also permanent residents of the United States. When making admissions decisions, we give preference to students at American medical schools who have a compelling reason to transfer to Dartmouth. Also, we do not accept transfers from schools of dentistry, osteopathic, chiropractic or veterinary medicine. To be eligible for transfer consideration, you must have been matriculated as a medical student and be in good academic standing. If your current medical school requires passing national boards in order to be eligible for promotion, then this requirement must be met before matriculation at Dartmouth. If you continue to be interested in Dartmouth, please get in touch with us again in the New Year when we will have a better sense of our 2004-05 enrollment. Please do not hesitate to contact our office again if you have any further questions or concerns. Best wishes as you plan your educational future. Sincerely, Andrew G.

Occasionally, students are admitted to the Medical School with advanced standing. Individuals who are currently enrolled in an accredited school of allopathic or osteopathic medicine located in the United States or Canada are eligible to apply. Rhode Island residents* who are currently enrolled in a W.H.O-listed medical school outside the United States or Canada also may apply. Individuals who already have graduated from medical school are not eligible to apply. Generally, transfers are made at the beginning of the third year of medical school and only if spaces are anticipated in the class. In addition to the selection factors described in the application booklet, consideration is given to unforeseen and compelling personal circumstances prompting the request for transfer. The Admissions Committee also considers the degree to which an applicant's previous medical education matches that of Brown University and prepares the applicant for continued medical study. The application packet will be mailed to you in December if openings are anticipated for the following academic year. If you did not include your mailing address in your previous email, please write back with that information. The forms may be accessed electronically at: http://bms.brown.edu/admissions in December.
