The U.S. is economically developed, has advanced medical equipment, and has a high quality of teaching in medicine. Many students who want to study in the United States are inclined to the United States. Next, I will analyze the application conditions and application materials for studying in the United States to read the medical profession.
A. Study in the United States to read the application conditions of the medical profession1. Undergraduate GPA: For general applicants, undergraduate GPA 3.0 or more is a necessary condition for applying for medical school. For the top ten medical schools, the undergraduate GPA should be 3.6 or above.
2. TOEFL: International students are generally required to provide TOEFL scores. Although some medical schools do not require applicants to take the TOEFL test, they do require international applicants to speak and listen to English, so it is best to have a TOEFL score of 630 or higher when applying to a top-ranked medical school.
3. MCAT or GRE: The MCAT is the entrance exam required by almost all U.S. medical schools. Note: Candidates who are applying to medical school with the intention of pursuing a career in medical research can also provide their GRE scores to the institution.
Second, study in the United States to read the medical program application requirements1. Degree: applicants must have a four-year bachelor's degree or bachelor's degree or higher. There is no restriction on the applicant's undergraduate major, but medical schools generally require candidates to have taken a certain number of credits of courses in biology, chemistry, physics and calculus, etc.

2. Letters of recommendation: If the applicant's undergraduate school has a Pre-Medical Committee, a letter of recommendation from that body should be submitted; if the applicant's undergraduate school does not have a Pre-Medical Committee, a letter of recommendation from an undergraduate professor should be submitted, with the number of letters determined by the school to which the applicant is applying.

3 . Proof of funds: International students are required to provide proof of sufficient funds to show that they have sufficient financial resources to be able to cover all expenses during their studies.
Third, the application process
The first step: to the Association of American Medical Colleges (Association of American Medical Colleges, AAMC) under the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) to submit a preliminary application
This application requires the submission of four years of undergraduate studies. As long as your information is complete and your undergraduate GPA is above average, most applicants will be able to pass this test.
The second step is for each medical school to distribute the application materials to the applicants
At this stage, each school will have different questions and short essays to submit. The questions and essays are biased towards the school itself, to see how well you match up with the school and how seriously the applicant is considering the school. Each school will invite some students for interviews after a comprehensive examination of the applicant's standardized tests, undergraduate GPA, personal statement, research and extracurricular activities. Considering how competitive U.S. medical schools are, you'll be lucky to get an interview with 20-30% of the 15-20 schools you apply to.
Step 3: Being invited to the medical school field interview
This is a crucial part of the U.S. medical school admissions process, and this step will probably brush off 3/4 of the students. The remaining ones will get the final offer of admission.
