This is exactly why I have hesitated to get a lawyer involved. I don't want to strain the amicable relationship with the dean. But I understand that I must find a way to somehow change the "dismissal" into either a Leave of Absence or Voluntary withdrawal. Both of which need to be explained on any future applications, but they certainly are easier to swallow than an ultimate dismissal. Many of you suggested I find a way to do this. I do not know how susceptible the dean is to changing his mind about his original verdict. I was hoping some of you can have suggestions on how I may go about this.
Okay, so here's your situation-- you were dismissed from a US medical school by a committee. They do not come by this decision lightly; it kind of takes a lot to come to this. To be completely harsh, they don't want you back and the dean made it pretty clear when she told you that she would support you should you decide to attend a Caribbean school; not their school, a Caribbean school.
So you can get a lawyer and see if there was some sort of loophole-- were you unfairly kicked out of med school? Were all the processes followed? Were you discriminated against? Your second option is that you can attend a Caribbean school because the chances that you are going to get into a US school after a prior dismissal are pretty astronomical. Your third option is that you could go to PA school or NP school and actually have a life outside of medicine. Your final option is to forget medicine altogether and live happily ever after.
