Does anybody know what admissions are like for international students at Cornell's Qatar campus? I have a low GPA and a high MCAT (2.9 and 34), which is easily good enough to get me into reputable schools in, say, Australia... but I'd rather be in the Middle East because I have a lot of relatives there. It seems from their website that they put more emphasis on GPA than MCAT, but GPA isn't a complete non-factor like it is in Australia. Opinions?
By the way, I'm a Pakistani citizen at the moment and I'm a few months away from finishing all of the paperwork to become an American citizen. My dad lives in Kuwait (as well as my mom's brother's family and her sister's family) and my mom has some cousins in Qatar and other parts of the Middle East. I wouldn't mind staying in the Middle East in the long run, since my mom will probably be moving to Kuwait soon (to join my dad) and I still have a lot of relatives in Pakistan.
What do you guys think?
