HI all, I just wanted to get your opinion.
I have a low CGPA of 3.02, and around the same if not lower for science. I did my mcat for the first time without using any external help from a program and got a score of 485. I know I wanted to go to med school, but i don't think ill get in applying to a Canadian school or even American with these numbers. Should I go to a Caribbean school (Ross or Saba) or finish my Masters for 2 years aim for a high mark and re-write the mcat and apply again for a Canadian school in 2 years. What will be my chances then in two years, will a Masters help? Keeping in mind, i'll finish my masters at the age of 25 and then start medical school which means i'd graduate at age 29/30 and start looking for residencies.OR having an opportunity I can go straight to Ross or Saba, because whats the guarantee that even after completing my masters I'll get into a Canadian school? If i don't get in then, it would just mean that I "wasted" 2 years doing a degree that in the end isn't really worth it because it won't help me get any major jobs leading me to try to apply to the Caribbean again, something I could've done 2 years prior (Age 23). IS it really worth waiting to re-try in two years post my masters or should I just go straight to the Caribbean, put in hard work and try my luck. God forbid if I don't do good on the step exams or even the school exams during basic sciences I'll not only have no degree within the 2 years of basic sciences, ill be in debt by 200K+ and be back to the position I am in today.
Please do be kind in your responses and for all help.
