Could someone get into Caribbean medical school with a 2.5 GPA?

[NEVERSURRENDERMD]

lol so many semi-pro athletes (D1 NCAA, sub-world class) wanna be pros... yet most will not make it. Does that mean those guys should take every possible drug out there to barely make the cut? Or should they give up on their dreams do whatever else they can?

Same goes for people looking at the carribean. If you cant get into DO, then you're not good enough. Simple as that. I can bet every successful person from the carribean was *good enough* to be a mediocre DO family doctor who can treat basic colds.

Frankly, most of you people have no clue what you're talking about. I would rather be an MD, myself, and I'm not crazy about the whole DO route, but I actually WORKED WITH a DO who was an anesthesiologist, and that was back when I was a pharmacy tech at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, so it had to have been between 1990 and 1995. I'm glad this forum is on here and I appreciate the ability to be able to read up on different ideas and experiences, but some of you guys (and girls) seem like snotty little kids who are coming straight from HS, right into undergrad, and then off to med school with your mommy and daddy's money. You need to trust me, and more importantly, you need to BELIEVE ME when I tell you that your ideas and concepts as to what SHOULD happen in the real world and how doctors and the practice of medicine SHOULD take place and the reality of how it ACTUALLY DOES are very, very, VERY far apart, and from reading what most of you have posted on these boards, very few of you have any clue as to how it really goes down. I don't just KNOW a doctor who is a pain specialist and has a BA in Chemistry and another one in Biology and finally got into a medical school in the S. Pacific that doesn't even exist anymore and then got his MD from there, happened to cut a deal back in the states to get into a really good residency, which is all that matters (you could have a crayon MD and if you were in the right residency nobody would care), and now has a very successful practice, but I actually GO TO THIS GUY as my pain management doctor. I know so many crazy stories of doctors becoming doctors through the most insane routes possible it makes going to the moon seem like a backyard project. So just cut it out with all of the dumb remarks. Yeah, the scribble a GPA on a napkin remark was funny, but in all reality, that guy probably really did get in by scribbling a GPA on a napkin, buy his degree, buy his match, and now makes $500,000 a year today as a radiologist. I've seen stranger things, BELIEVE ME!
