I have a 3.2 gpa, 3.1 science, 29 MCAT.
I have not gotten accepted into any post-bacc programs or master's programs as of yet.
I have no idea what to do. I'm thinking I should apply to St. George's for the spring or next year. Can anybody tell me about this school? Do you think I can even get in there?
I have no idea about Carribean schools but I just want to be a doctor.

i applied really late. my primaries were sent in november. secondaries were sent by december.
i applied to md programs such as temple, drexel, gw, slu
i applied to do programs: nycom, oklahoma state, pcom philadelphia, kcom
i had one interview at pcom, rejected
but since then i got a C+ in biochem. so i dunno what to do, at the interview i was asked about that.
do carribbean grads get similar residencies to d.o.'s? my dad was chewing me out today cause he says carribean people have a tough time for the rest of their lives...he's a doctor too...

I had a similar GPA...you would be a good SMP candidate along with retaking the MCAT. I'm currently in an SMP and so far so good...i'll be reapplying this summer. When you reapply, I would also re-apply to SMPs at the same time as med school...that's not uncommon. DO is your best shot...I regret not doing that the first time. The fact you even got an interview at PCOM is pretty impressive...that's one of the most competitive, if not the most. The pediatric neurosurgeon I currently shadow got his DO from there.
Anyway, I agree with the other posters...save the carib schools as your last resort. Those graduates do get residencies in the US, but not always the one they want, and they are at a severe disadvantage. From what I understand (but I'm by no means an expert), an allopathic residency will take a DO from a US school before taking an MD from a carib school. It's hard enough for a DO to get into an MD residency, so you can imagine how much more difficult it is for a carib graduate.
Sorry I am new to this sight what does SMP stand for?
So I suggest you take a look at the International forums, because I think the Carib schools are discussed there. My impression, from general comments thrown around SDN, is that there are definitely challenges associated with going that route - especially getting into a US residency. The tuition is also high, and there are generally difficulty getting good clinical rotations (I know nothing about St George's in particular).I have a 3.2 gpa, 3.1 science, 29 MCAT.

Why don't you try for russian medical schools? I have a situation just like u and now i am about to apply there. There they don't need entrance examinations and the cost is also quite affordable. The degree they offer is also very much accepted. Need any help just ask me .😉
