What are you an idiot?
He asked and i quote:
Hi, dont know if anyone can help. I am trying to decide between medical school in the caribbean (AUC, SGU, or ROSS) or the U.K.? Sometimes I hear the caribbean is better because it mirrors U.S. training...and other times I hear that the U.K. is better because better chances of getting residency of your choice.
If anyone knows anything on this subject, please respond.
Thanks
He did not at all suggest he meant schools like St Chris. You are clearly delusional. He said "UK Schools". In fact, all UK schools take in up to 10% non-UK students including North American.
You said this:
Caribbean without a doubt. The UK schools are not as well established and that could lead to problems with licensure in certain states. I think Texas requires a school to be in existance for at least 15 years? Ross, AUC and St. George all older than 25 years. Residency programs are familiar with the big 3 and will yield to less problems than the UK schools. There is no competitive advantage to attending a UK school.
If you think you can fool a program director into thinking your school is somewhat prestigious simply because it's located in the U.K., you are very wrong. Residency programs are very well aware of private schools like St. Christophers in England, which are basically Caribbean schools in Europe. They are full of Americans who failed to get into a U.S. school. The schools in Ireland are viewed in the same way.
YOUR post suggests he is talking about places like St Chris, his dosent at all. Moreover, your totally wrong as to what people think of real Irish schools, there are no private ones and they are seen in a very high regard.
Then in your most recent rant of lunacy you stated this:
Yes, St. Chris is not part of the British educational system but none of the other REALBritish medical school accept American students with 2.0 GPA's and weak MCAT's like some caribbean medical school. The schools the OP was inquiring about were the ones in Britain and Ireland that accept American students who were unable to get into medical school in the United States ie: their version of Caribbean schools.
No where did the poster say he had a 2.0 GPA. No where did he suggest he did badly. You made that up in your delusional mind. Again, idiot.
Lastly, your challenging someone who works in the system and knows the truths of the matter (besides researching it for the last year myself). You, obviously, are clueless. Now next time you want to fight a battle of witts.... please dont come unarmed.
