Hi everyone,
I know that SGU and Ross are presumably the best med schools in the carribean but my concern is the price tag. I'm debating b/w
SABA and Ross/SGU reason being is that SABA costs half as much as the other two.
Basic sciences at SABA: $6900+ each semester
ROSS: 9000+ " "
SGU: 12000+ " "
I'm wondering if its really worth shelling out nearly 30,000+ (including fees etc) per year for Foreign Medical Schools such as sgu/ross when i can spend much less on SABA which has its graduates in residencies across the US also and also does their clinicals in the US. After all they're both Foreign med schools and graduates from both are gonna have a tough time with residency placements, board exams, stigma, etc. (why do these schools have such different tuition rates anyway?) Am i missing something?
I'm very unsure of what to do. On the one hand I want to go to sgu/ross for their reputation and 'good' education on the other hand I do have to worry about the $$ and am wondering how much worse off i'd be if i went to a lesser 'brand name' school still in the carribeans.
I would greatly appreciate any input/advice that you guys 'n gals may have to help me get a better idea or perspective on this issue.
In adddition if there are any SABA sudents/graduates out there I would love to hear your opinions and experiences about this school.
Also, how different is the quality of instruction b/w ross and sgu? where does auc fall on this spectrum?
Thanks - any input is appreciated.
