Also they need step 1:

take a look at my post page 87, do a search on FREIDA and contact all PDs, it will be a lot easier for you..

Its the accrediting authority for medical education programs in US and Canadian schools. All international medical schools are non-LCME accredited.

Also when I e-mailed Harvard, their tuition fees were like $3000 per month (no way in hell I'd pay $3000 for one month) however they had this waiver program, and the adviser told me
"If you feel that you need help in the $3000 tuition you should contact one of the International schools that may be able to assist you with the fee."
Are there international schools that provide international student funding?
@ Faddy
About the step 1 they told me you can apply without it, just don't fill it in the application, although I might be required to get a letter from the dean mentioning the reason of not being able to take step 1 or that I am in the process of preparing to take step 1.

I'm not interested in Harvard per se, $3000 per month my ass... excuse my language
I was interested in the fact that the guy there mentioned that one could get assist from international schools... I was just wondering how?

As an index of residency programs, choose a specialty and location then email all program directors asking them if they have openings for doing clinical rotations. You'll also see whether the hospital is university-based, affiliated or a community one. They are all good for electives because all programs in FREIDA are ACGME accredited.

Hey guys look what they sent me:
"Examples that we consider strong ties are demonstrated by the following:
1) a non-LCME student is from the State of WV but attends an off-shore school
2) has family in the State of WV
3) has friends within the state"
Anyone knows anyone from the state of WV I could be friends with? (sarcasm) Should I search Facebook walla eh? And how the hell can I prove this?
Are they fu@$ing kidding me?

Leah ba2a el ghalat dah? Wel ne3ma ya 3amm ana mesh khawaga?
And are you seriously suggesting I start looking for acquaintances in WV? I know they tell you to take the "extra mile" to do stuff but this is... unorthodox (Mesh khawaga wallahi)
I barely have time to read medicine any more
