First of all, I don’t think you should always believe everything you hear.
I’d also like to remind you that foreign students take the same exams you take, so on what grounds would you say that US med schools are a notch above foreign schools?
“And would you want someone operating on you if they had an inadequate background and education? I wouldn’t.” Isn’t that what you said? How exactly is it that you determined that we have inadequate background and education? Don’t forget that we don’t practice in the US unless we pass the same exams you do and these standardized exams allow reliable and valid comparisons to be made among students taking the test.

Hey! I would say that you are probably going to have a difficult time getting into schools with your GPA, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a chance. You would need to do very well on the MCAT. If you are currently a senior and you are taking the MCAT in April, I assume you are taking a year off before starting medical school? I would use this time to enhance your profile. Do some research, shadow a doctor, get good recommendations…all of these things will help your application. The very first thing I would do however, is make an appointment with the office of admissions for the medical schools you are interested in and meet with them. Tell them you are interested in their program and you would like to know what you can do to increase your chances of getting into their school. Also meet with your college advisor as well and find out what they think you can do to improve your application. Hope that helps!

I just completed my first two years at St. George’s University in Grenada, and I can’t recall a single student who had to return to the US for medical treatment for some rare illness they acquired while swinging from tree to tree with the monkeys. As for the question that was asked earlier, if you are accepted to a medical school in the US or Canada, it will make it a little easier for you to practice in those places. I would not rule out foreign schools though! I don’t advocate all of the Carribean schools, but after my experience at SGU, and my step 1 score, I can guarantee that you will get an excellent medical education in Grenada. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
