Hey everyone this is my first time posting. Currently deciding whether to go to AUC this fall or re-apply to mainly DO and some MD either this summer or next. My stats are:
3.6 cGPA
3.3 sGPA
31 MCAT
Have a decent amount of ECs but not particularly stand-out (scribe in ER x 1 year, volunteer at hospitals x 3 years, research in 2 labs and 1 clinic). I applied only MD this past year with no luck, and ended up applying to AUC as a backup and got in. I'm pretty eager to start med school, but after looking around on these forums Caribbean seems to be looked down upon by many in the US, including residencies which seems to make it pretty hard to compete with US grads. Looking for some advice/perspective of which option you think would be the most beneficial in the long run. Thanks!
