However, the average acceptance rate for an U.S medical school is only 5%, which means 19 out of every 20 applicants will be rejected, most of them well qualified. In recent years, Foreign Medical Education has become a popular alternate route to obtaining a MD degree and becoming a licensed physician in the United States or Canada.
