I have posted a thread earlier about getting into MD schools in the U.S with a science gpa lower than a 3.0 with a drastically upward trend and an MCAT over 30.
I have done extensive research over the years about the requirements of all schools, MD/DO, and am now researching PR schools.
I am fluent in Spanish (was my college major) and very very desperately want to get into medical school.
In this post I would really like a reply from an american who learned spanish in the states and went to a PR school. How was your experience? Was it a hard adjustment? Was it safe? Is there internet/ U.S like accommodations? Anything else I should know?
I definitely do not want to rough it, but if not accepted into a U.S program I will consider it.
I just fear that learning in spanish may make the already difficult course work that much more strenuous.
Note: I will not be applying to Caribbean school because they aren't as well respected as US schools, especially when it comes to specializing, something in which I intend to do.
If any one else has a comment or information pertaining to this topic please feel free to comment, I appreciate everyone's opinion.
