Where should you apply?

Pick a health or medicine major. You’ll see five strong schools for it, plus Penn and five Texas options, then top UK and European picks priced for a Polish (EU) citizen, with the University of Surrey and a Polish university for comparison.

Scores are optional and add a reach / target / likely read for U.S. schools. UK fee status changes UK prices: Polish citizens who haven’t lived in the UK pay international fees. Everything stays in this browser.

Costs use published 2027–28 figures where available. Other figures project a baseline forward at about 4% a year. Most families pay far less than sticker after aid, so run each school’s net price calculator. For Fall 2027 entry, most early deadlines (Nov 1) have passed; regular deadlines are typically early December (UT Austin) to mid-January. Confirm every number on the school’s own site. UK and European prices are converted at £1 = $1.33, €1 = $1.15, CHF 1 = $1.20 and 1 zł = $0.27.

How this was put together

Top-five lists blend major-specific reputation from program rankings (U.S. News, QS subject rankings) and are a starting point, not an official ranking. Different sources order schools differently. The Texas lists are curated for program fit and a mix of public and private options.

Admit rates and SAT/ACT ranges are school-wide approximations from recent Common Data Sets and admissions reports. Programs like nursing are often much harder to get into than the school overall; those are flagged.

Costs: Texas public universities show in-state prices; other public universities show out-of-state prices; private universities show the same price for everyone. “Total cost” includes tuition, fees, housing, food and estimated personal and travel costs, before aid. Test policies change often; verify for the Fall 2027 cycle.

UK and European lists draw on QS and Times Higher Education subject rankings. Admission there is by subject, based mostly on AP scores and SAT/ACT; the “typical requirement” lines are approximate and change by course, so check each course page. Living costs are rough academic-year budgets for the city.
