I have not seen a thread on this topic yet, and I have been seeing varying numbers. So, what are the GPA and MCAT averages for the big 4 caribbean medical schools (SGU, AUC, ROSS and SABA)?

For SGU, you need about 26-27 and a GPA of >3.0. A high MCAT score CAN compensate for a moderately low GPA (not like 2.5). But the reverse isn't true.
You usually need a 9/9/8 or 9/9/9 to have a chance.
 
Does anyone know if SGU, Ross, AUC considers the best score from each subsection rather than just the highest overall score?

AUC takes the highest score overall, as far as I know. They don't pick and choose the scores per section. Good luck.
