I am an international student (F1 visa) at college (junior) and planning to apply into medical school. Two of the schools that I have contacted (one private and the other one is public) told me that an application should be a permanent resident in order to apply. I have been in the states for more than 2 years. I have read that a person is a resident if he or she lived in the states for more than a year. Is it the same thing I am talking about or permanent residency is something different? If it is, ar there are any way that this problem may be solved.
BTW, I am interested in Ophthalmology and will be doing a research project in an university this summer.
Thank you.
