Hi,

I just sent in my application for St. George's in April for Spring 06. I would love to discuss as I've tried on other forums without any luck. You can also get great info on valuemd.com - it's mostly med school but lots of info on the island and such.

I was wondering why you chose to start Spring 2006 and not this August 2005? Are you applying to the DVM program or the pre-vet? Have you been successful in completing your prerequisites? Let me know if you hear from SGU for an interview. Let's talk privately by email. Mine is [email protected].

SGU is a non-AVMA accredited veterinary school right? What does that really mean in terms of licensing, taking the boards, etc (NAVLE)? Do you know the details.....

Non-AVMA means "ECFVG certification required" to practice in the USA. Some states are now allowing some sort of bypass by accepting the PAVE exam instead of the ECFVG exam/internship. But not all states will accept the PAVE yet. You should definitely look into the ECFVG because it's not something to be taken lightly (it could cost you a lot of money and potentially 1+ year after you graduate to acquire). Go to the AVMA website (http://www.avma.org) and there should be a link to education or ECFVG in the left hand column.

ECFVG = Educational Committee for Foreign Veterinary Graduates.

Are there any forums that you may know that help in passing ECFVG?
