One of the websites I found tells that high SAT scores and academic performance will help in getting financial aid from US universitiesaxmls said:Probably not. It's extperformance even for American students to get scholarships to med school.
Med school costs hundreds of thousands of dollars quite often in the US. Most of the time, the students take out student loans to pay for it, and I don't know how possible that is for a foreign student (this is just what I've learned from talking to people who have been to med school).
It costs a lot, but the idea is that most doctors will be able to pay off their debt after a few years of working with a doctor's salary.

There are a few key ways to improve your chances of getting into an American med school after college in India. First, make sure you have a strong academic record with a high GPA and competitive MCAT scores. Additionally, participate in extracurricular activities that demonstrate your interest and commitment to the medical field. This could include volunteering at a hospital, shadowing a doctor, or participating in research projects. Finally, consider applying to a diverse range of schools and thoroughly preparing for interviews.
It depends on the specific requirements of the schools you are applying to. Some may require you to take certain science courses, such as biology or chemistry, while others may require additional exams, such as the TOEFL for non-native English speakers. It is important to research the specific requirements of each school you are interested in to ensure you meet all qualifications.
While all American med schools have their own admissions processes and preferences, there are some that may be more open to international applicants. Some schools, such as Duke University and the University of California, San Francisco, have a higher percentage of international students in their programs. It is important to research and apply to a diverse range of schools to increase your chances of acceptance.
The application process for American med schools can vary, but it typically takes around 1-2 years. This includes preparing for the MCAT, completing prerequisite courses, and applying to schools. It is important to plan ahead and start the process early to ensure you have enough time to complete all requirements and submit your applications on time.
Yes, there are some financial aid options available for international students applying to American med schools.
