Yes currently AUC and SABA offer classes over the summer so you can technically finish in less time.

1-5 Terms for a total of 20 months on the island. Then 1 term to study and write Step1. Pass the Step1 and the rest are clinicals.
American schools go for 24 months, write the Step1 then clinicals.
So we are 4 months faster but harder since we have to do more with less time.
If you think about it 20 months isnt that bad, you could do a jail sentence for 20 months if you had to. Only difference between jail and Saba is you don't have some big dude trying to turn you out and your free to leave at any time.

Anyone that thinks Saba is going to be easy has a harsh lesson coming. It's alot of hard work for 20 months and the grading scale is 75+ to pass so there's alot of pressure on you. If I could have done it all over again I might have picked Saba's sister school Nevis because their grading scale is 70+, that 5% really helps in some cases.

That is like saying I wish I went to my state school instead of the higher ranked university I graduated from because I would of had a higher GPA. Doesnt make too much sense, no offense. Some schools grading systems may be easier, but the education and preparation may also suffer as well. I am not pointing out any school in general I am just saying overall. I mean getting grades in SGU is prob much harder than getting grades at Saba or Ross, but does this mean every struggling SGU student wished they went to Saba or Ross. A struggling student is going to struggle, even if you put them in a community college.

Saba and MUA Nevis are sister schools. That means they have the exact same program. I'm comparing apples to apples and not apples to oranges. Did I even bring up SGU? No offense but look what I posted.

Hear that? It's the sound of laughter..........................

Really Path is different at different schools?
Pharm is different, Uh different drugs?
Uh Anatomy is different? How prey tell?
Histo is Different Again How?

This is the most ridiculous statement I have ever read in SDN,

Uh medschool is medschool and the material is the material, We all have to pass the USMLE, please do not even start "I study different material" We all are smart people, I'm about through Basic sci only have 2 months left. There friends in US MD schools and heck we had the same material to study we compared notes and helped each other.............please

BTW I read how ROSS grades one time very interesting, "No Curves" but the courses are graded according to means so yeah there are curves it's just done different, There are no curves in Path2 and my last semester at my school, and thats for real. They allow us to do extra work on projects that are worth 10% so not really giving points you earn them and learn a little....................
