I really hate people like you.. Dumb comments
Hi all,
I am thinking of applying to AUA next year. The reason for it is i am 26 years old now and i don't want to spend time to study Mcat. AUA does not consider mcat.
So my questions are;
Is it school approved in all 50 states?
Will i have any issues regarding license in the future or after graduating?
I am considering plastic surgery or dermatology, will i find a good placement?
Also i know there are multiple threads about this school but it is not up to date or does not answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.

You dont want to spend time taking a standardized test for medical school admissions, yet you want to go into competitive residencies that US MD schools have a hard time matching into.Hi all,

What if you take the MCAT and apply for US allopathic/osteopathic schools?What if i take MCAT and apply for SGU ?
Low gpa.. to be exact, my brother got diagnosed with cancer and i have to support him. So i worked 30 hours a week and attended school at the same time which hurt my gpa.. I have 3.2 now and did not take any science course yet. But i am pretty sure i can get A's and B's in science courses.why are you considering carribean schools? I'm not asking this to be rude but I want to know why you'd consider applying there over MD/DO. You're chances of matching derm of plastics are essentially non-existent from a carribean school.

Doesn't make much sense unless there are other issues with your application.
Take the MCAT and apply to DO schools. It is a much better option. BTW you cant discard educational loans in bankruptcy.Low gpa.. to be exact, my brother got diagnosed with cancer and i have to support him.

This is much better reply. can you be more specific? What is the reason for that?
3.2 isn't the end of the world, especially since you still have ~2 years worth of science courses that could help improve your GPA. Can you even matriculate to carribean schools without science courses? Medicine is not a career you want to take any shortcuts for and it sounds like you're pretty hardworking if you could maintain a decent GPA while going through all of that.Low gpa.. to be exact, my brother got diagnosed with cancer and i have to support him.

Yes they do.. under gi bill chapter 33 9/11WTF are you talking about? Veteran's children dont get free tuition.

Maybe not; depends if benefits were transferred correctly while still on active service
Transfer Post-9/11 GI Bill to Spouse and Dependents
The transferability option under the Post-9/11 GI Bill allows Servicemembers to transfer all or some unused benefits to their spouse or dependent children. The request to transfer unused GI Bill benefits to eligible dependents must be completed while servicing as an active member of the Armed Forces. The Department of Defense (DoD) determines whether or not you can transfer benefits to your family. Once the DoD approves benefits for transfer, the new beneficiaries apply for them at VA
Good advice.. will consider.With the need for two years of science prereqs, and the prospect of strong upward grade trend. That and a reasonable MCAT and good EC can still be competitive for MD as well as DO. Your issue though seem to be the belief that at 26 you are getting too old for medical school. About 5% of all MD first year students are over 30 (about 1100 a year) and 1% are 35 and older (so 200). I have several examples both of MD and DO either deans of medical schools or leadership in national medical associations who did not start medical school until late 20's to mid-30s. And I have at least several hundred over the past 15 years that I know of from my work in OldPreMeds.org. So take the age out of your consideration
as I've said often, before considering any offshore school applicant must go through at least two application cycles for both MD and DO with at least a year break in between (ie skip a cycle) for application repair and/or enhancement. the break is necessary to analyze and understand the weaknesses in an application. Repair may be as simple as reorganizing rewriting application or it may require postbacc, SMP, MCAT, or additional extracurricular such as clinical volunteering and other items. I strongly advise that no student should consider off shore schools until the above has been done.

This is the story as I understand it so far:
- OP does not want to study for the MCAT
- OP would consider SGU if s/he took the MCAT, though.
- OP has yet to take a science class
- OP only wants Derm or Plastics
- This was his/her first post, because there just wasn't a single answer to any of these basic questions to be found anywhere on SDN.
@marli33 please correct me if I have any of these facts wrong.
I hope you'll forgive me for thinking that maybe, just maybe, this post was a steaming pile of troll turd.
C'mon Rushie...you've been around here for 2 years. You should know not to underestimate the naivete of young pre-meds.
A moment of amnesia and naivete on my own part, Goro.
yeah thats about right.. take your supid comment to yourself.Are you going to tell the program director for residency that you want to apply even though you don't want to take the USMLE?
No; However if you can't dedicate yourself to study for 3 to 4 months for one test to get into an American medical school(D.O/M.D) I can not in honesty say you will dedicate yourself for board exams and what not in medical school.yeah thats about right.. take your supid comment to yourself.

Additionaly, why would someone who seeks to avoid taking the MCAT consider him/herself capable of getting through med school?We're just trying to save you from yourself...do you really want to be unemployed and deeply indebt? You're exactly the gullible, impatient mark these diploma mills prey upon.
You're willing to spend 4 years in medical school, 6 (?) years in a plastic surgery residency, but you're not willing to spend 3-4 months studying for the MCAT?
hey suck dick?:troll:
