For premed students, foreign undergraduate is not a good option.

Luckily premed students can go to a state school or somewhere with good merit aid and benefit from the less sweaty competition.

No ECs and you want prestige? Dust off the passport. The following amazing universities have primarily stat-based admissions:

Oxford
Cambridge
University of British Columbia
McGill
University of Sydney
University of Melbourne

And… several others if you start looking around. The American admissions game is silly. Other countries get it right.

Unless you get a good tuition price, UBC and McGill offer nothing special over UMD/UVA for a US American.

I mean, Vancouver and Montreal are two of the best cities in the world, whereas Charlottesville is a cow town and College Park is a dump, but okay.
