I think any person thinking of schools also should consider the costs. The total US cost is at least USD 280,000 and in some instances may go as high as USD 400,000. it is realized that some also have school debts from college. now then if a person can not get into a Military program , a Public health program and they do not have parents that are a "power couple" with excess of income then I propose the following schools. The degree is good in all 50 states. the cost of living is far less ,, the qualify for US Federal schools loans
First forget Mexico the good old days of Guadalajara are over with. or University del nor Este, it is too dangerous kidnapping and drug dealers
Second forget the Cuba school, the US will NEVER allow those student to come here for externships, especially in Florida
Third, THINK TWICE about Caribbean schools, there was an article in the New York Times about 24 months ago, such that NEW YORK Hospitals are not going to allow the students to do externship anymore. that means you are stuck with a worthless degree and mountains of debt.
So propose the following choices most of them cost about USD 60,000 which is far cheaper than the USD 280,000 cost of the Medical degrees
1) Australia, University of Queensland in Brisbane they will accept a student with a US GPA 2.7 and a
MCAT 24 . the school is Caribbean style with first 2 years in Brisbane and last 2 ye at Ochsner Clinic in
New Orleans
2) Poland several to choose from Jagiellonian is the oldest but also Univ Warsaw , Univ Silesia, and Poznan University
3) Czech Republic, Charles University, 6 year curriculum but good in all 50 states and all EU so if you meet the "love of your life" and want to live in Paris , France or Rome Italy after graduation the degree is good there
also worthy of consideration are the schools in Ireland, a little less competitive than US, Canada or UK
all the schools are good in all 50 stats, the cost is about USD 60,000 and the cost of living is very low in Eastern Europe,
as a comparison In Bulgaria a 1 bed room condominium in a gated community with private pool is USD 25,000 so costs for room and board are very cheap by US standards
the purpose of this post is for that student with a GPA of 2.7 and/or a MCAT of 24 that truly wants to be a doctor , then University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia is where you want to look
also for that student that is scared of high debt of USD 280,000 to USD 400,000 and can not get into a Military or Public health program, and/ or the parents do not have the money, then try Eastern Europe ( Poland or Czech republic)
many of these schools have been producing doctors since the Middle ages and are well established recognized by WHO , EU and are good in all 50 states Most if not all qualify for US Federal loans
best of luck thanks for listening. I do not want to give my name but I have served on Admission committees of private University medical schools in the US . to me too many student " do not count the cost" of the schooling they should to me many of the schools like Australia , Poland or Czech republic are a "bargain" and better then the Caribbean schools
