Has anyone heard of Saint James Medical School?

<p>Has anyone heard of Saint James Medical School? I'm currently a freshman at Centre College but I don't think i'm going to have a high enough gpa or high enough mcat score to get into medical school. Right now I have a D in Chemistry, a C in calculus, and a C in humanities. Plus I'm not good at standardized tests, so i'm thinking the mcat will be a crash. At Saint James I can apply for the Premedical program and if i successfully complete all of the courses with an 80% attendance rate i can move on to the medical degree program. They also don't require an mcat.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard of this school? How tough is it? Would this be a good option for me?</p>

<p>Caribbean schools should never be a first choice as they will make it harder for you to get into residency later.</p>

<p>More importantly, you should be evaluating why you're getting poor grades. The attrition rate at Caribbean schools is huge because they tend to take weaker students. If you're not good at standardized ests, then you're going to have trouble with the boards. It's better to realize you're not cut out to be a doctor early on than to find out a couple of years into med school.</p>
