Hello All,
I find myself in a little dilema. (although it's not a bad dilema to be in) I'm torn to which school I should attend this year? I have already been accepted to Ross University (just found out after my arrival to the PI from the US) and still awaiting to hear from St. George's, however due to the different academic calenders I am already in the Philippines going through orientation at the University of the Philippines. I'm a US citizen and ultimately my goal is to find my way back to the US to do surgery. In either route, I know I'll still be considered a Foreign Graduate but would my chances of getting into a residency of my choice be better coming from the Carribean where I essentially do my 3/4th year here in the States?
Is having that US expereince THAT much of an advantage?
How many UP graduates (or rather ay Philippine Medical grad) have made it to the states with their residency of choice and how difficult is the transition to come over?
Finally, since the timeline of the academic calendar is different, how does that affect Philippine grads?
Thanks for any input.
