International students often face lower acceptance rates than domestic applicants, and many BS/MD and BA/MD programs won’t accept applications from international candidates. Jeongming and her parents knew very little about direct medical programs and U.S. college application processes or how her international student status would impact her chances.
First, we paired Jeonming with a counselor specializing in helping international BS/MD applicants. Jeongming’s counselor helped her find BS/MD and BA/MD programs that accept international applicants and built a preliminary school list filled with direct medical and regular college programs. We helped Jeongming fulfill U.S. college requirements, pursue meaningful extracurriculars, and participate in experiences that would help her showcase her passion for medicine.
Jeongming was accepted to 6 colleges and 1 BA/MD program at Rutgers University.
