Hello,
I completed my undergrad in a health science major with a 3.0 GPA and applied for medicine at my university as well as several others in the area, and across Canada, without success. This was 8 years ago; since then, things have been very difficult, to put it shortly, and I found myself struggling with a secondary. There was an ad on a channel about a medical school in the Caribbean, All Saints University School of Medicine. I spoke to them and they were understanding of my situation. The MCAT isn't necessary for admission, which I found convenient since I've never done it. Being a Canadian, I am eligible for a considerable tuition scholarship, which is also really beneficial to me.
I did read up about the Big 4, but I'm afraid I lack several of the admission requirements, which I don't foresee myself satisfying in the next year or so. All Saints did offer admission to me, which has me in circles in my mind. I applied for the Dominica campus. They're also in St Vincent.
Could this be something that's too good to be true, though? The web site states to require letters of reference, which they never followed up on (and it's worth mentioning, because I don't have anyone I can refer for the past few years). They also said they'd be doing a phone interview, but the call never came for it.
At 32 years old, I can't think of what else to do, as medicine was what I originally was hoping to get into. I haven't moved forward with this yet, just wanted to get some thoughts toward this. Is it worth it? Does anyone know anything more about this school, as it's hard to find some good information about them. Sorry if this was asked so much before. I'm really in the dark, so to speak, hard to think clearly.
