My top pick for caribbean schools





Say you don't get into an American school after a few attempts. That sucks, man. I'm sorry to hear that. However, your dream isn't dead yet. There are alternatives - Caribbean schools. Caribbean schools are for-profit institutions that accept a large number of students every year on a rolling basis. There are good, reputable ones and there are some that I would avoid. One school, my pick of the Caribbean medical schools would have to be....drum roll please....St. George's University in Grenada. The last time you heard of Grenada was probably in the 1980's when the United States military had to invade in order to rescue American students studying at SGU. Well, this for profit school has made quite a reputation for itself over the last 25+ years. Their admission standards are on-par (or above) some US medical schools. But don't get too discouraged because they are FOR PROFIT. They will give people a chance that didn't hack it in the US. Their average student has a 3.4 GPA and 25 or so on the MCAT. Don't worry if you don't measure up. I know a guy that is a fourth year at SGU who wasn't even close to those averages. The beauty of Caribbean schools is that they give you a chance to realize your dream while you can study in paradise! You can click on the links on this page to visit their site. Check out their residency match list. It's quite impressive. So, to conclude, I highly recommend SGU as an alternative to American schools if you can't seem to make it in the states. As always, I will give you my best with accurate information in order to help you achieve success. Don't forget to visit SGU's website! Adios!
