It's difficult to find information about Caribbean medical schools.

<p>So the big 4 schools are the only schools to look at when applying, Ross, Saba, AUC, and St. George.</p>

<p>What are the requirements for getting in? (People say pretty much anyone who meets the requirements and applies with a 2.5 GPA+ and a 19 MCAT + gets in, but I find this hard to believe).
Tuition and financial aid at Caribbean med schools vs US Med schools?
What tests are essential to a Caribbean Med student's success to practicing in the US?
How is the social life on the islands of these schools? (Haven't found anything about this).</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Why are you considering these schools?<br>
Why not just do the normal route of undergrad and med school in the US?</p>

<p>They’re wrong - you might be able to get into a carib school with those stats, but not the big 4.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I find it difficult to believe that you couldn’t find this info - I just went to SGU’s site, and within 5 seconds, found the pages with lots of information on tuition and loans, etc. Look at the school’s sites - its’ all there.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No sense worrying about these things - you need to worry about getting in first. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Again, why are you worrying about this? If you’re going to a school on the islands, it’s because you couldn’t get into a US school and social life should be the least of your concerns. </p>

<p>And once more, I spent all of 2 seconds on google and found a plethora of student blogs on this topic.</p>

<p>We aren’t supposed to recommend other websites on this forum, but there is a certain forum out there that focuses on foreign schools. It is called ValueMD, you may find your answers there.</p>

<p>2.5 no I dn’t think so I think it’s 3.2 and higher
but still u have chances if u have a gpa of 3.0</p>
