International Applicants: Applications from International students, are accepted. Consistent with the mission of the University of Louisville School of Medicine as a public state institution, those who graduate from a Kentucky high school or attended (or are attending) a Kentucky college/university may be considered for admission.

All decisions as to whether consideration circumstances exist in a particular application for admission shall be made by the Admissions Dean or the Dean's designee.

International Course Credit

Students who are permanent residents of the United States who have attended an institution outside the United States, must have obtained the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, and have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours from an accredited college/university in the United States.

Financial Aid

International students, including those with a pending application for permanent residency or with DACA status, are not eligible for most federal benefits, including federally-guaranteed student loans. Such loans usually comprise an important part of a medical student's financial aid package. Therefore, if these international students are offered admission, they must submit documentation of sufficient funds to cover the cost of completing a medical degree (see estimates at http://louisville.edu/medicine/financialaid/cost-of-attendance). Admission offers to international students who are unable to submit adequate documentation of sufficient funds will be withdrawn. All decisions as to whether the documentation of sufficient funds is adequate for a particular international student offered admission shall be made by the Dean or her designee.
