Your starting point should be the following web-site:
http://www.aamc.org/stuapps/admiss/amcas/start.htm
The starting website of AMCAS (American Medical
College Application Service) can be found here. AMCAS
is a centralised application agency where you send in
a very comprehensive application, including all
extracurricular activities, transcripts, MCAT results,
academic achievements, and a short auto-biography.
You also send in large amounts of money, and a list of
US schools that you want this application forwarded to.
AMCAS then distributes this application to the US
medical schools, at which time they will send back a
secondary application, often requesting additional
money and perhaps some supplemental information, such
as essays or reference letters. Past that, you must
wait for interviews, and then an acceptance letter.
I applied to some American schools, but only got as
far as the secondary application. At that time, I
decided I didn't want to go any further into the
process, and stopped. As a result, I don't know if
there are any other steps that need to be obtained.
eg. student Visa status, etc.
