Hello, i've taken the mcats twice but have scored poorly and am now contemplating taking it again and changing my entire strategy...

In the meantime im thinking about applying to schools that do not require the mcat but im not sure which schools are worth applying to.. Any suggestions? The only one i know of is AUA and I heard of St James as well...

In the end I would like to be able to practice medicine in IL or NY...

Any suggestions would be great
Thanks!

As has been stated numerous times before, if you're going to apply to the Caribbean apply to the big 4. You've written the MCAT so that requirement is fulfilled, if you have a good GPA then that can make up for a bad MCAT.

Of coarse re try MCAT and try DO before aplying to the Caribs...

Agreed. Where does your GPA stand?

There's also MUA and a few schools on the St. Kitts island, I believe? Here's a list someone else created that you might be able to reference:
