Guest jaymin82 Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 i have a 3.0 gpa and a 3.1 science gpa. I have tons of volunteer hours as I help out a youth camp as a volunteer and work with disabled students all the time. What are the chances of me getting into a good caribbean med school? and does anyone know what the best caribbean med school is? I have yet to take the MCAT's and I dont' know if i should and would you recommend me taking them? By the way, I live in atlanta, ga and would do my residency in the US. Please help me out if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cradlecrotch Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Yes, you can get into a Caribbean medical school. I recommend you consider only Ross and St. George's. These are the established ones with good reputations in the US. You must take the MCAT to get into these schools. If you get 8s you'll be just fine. You will spend half the time on the islands and then do your clinicals in the states. Then you'd write the USMLE and match for a US residency. Good luck.

Guest Kirsteen Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hi there cradlecrotch, Perchance, did you take a Princeton Review course in Toronto last summer? Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cradlecrotch Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Nope... Don't tell me there's someone out there running around with my name. That'd be a shame. You try so hard to be original, you know? Anyway, I'm not the person you're thinking of...someone who also went to a Carib school maybe? There are a bunch of Canadians down here. Incidentally, the weather's beautiful...27 and sunny every day...oh I'm sorry, what's it like in TO, -35 with the wind? That's a shame. Sorry I can't relate. Moohahaha....

Guest Kirsteen Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 You naughty one, you! Corr, you're not far off: it's Everest-at-29,000-feet weather here these days. Mind you, we don't normally have to worry about really mad hurricanes, mosquitoes in December, and toe-pinching land crabs and the like, although compared to this, I'm thinking a little bit of warm, yet speedy breeze would be refreshing! Cheers, and enjoy the heat for all of us, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDCY Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 With those grades, I think you'll be accepted but definitely do your MCAT for sure. If you have a green card or you're an American citizen, it's definitely an idea you should consider-Carriben med school if things in the US/Canada don't pan out. As for myself, I'd have to agree with the aforementioned schools of either Ross or St. George's University. If you need some info on SGU, email me at drcy@hotmail.com as I'm attending it currently. Good luck whatever your choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monica777 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of Windsor University School of Medicine in St. Kitts. If so, what have you heard/know? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Badkarma25 Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 This school is a joke and a farce, and I would advise you not to touch it with a 10 foot pole. My advice to you is, if you want to go to a carribean school, pick one that's been around at LEAST 10 years and who has graduated students doing residencies in the U.S., and NEVER pick one that will take North American students out of grade 10.
