From what I've been told, due to more appealing opportunities in the caribbean, the UAG has lost its flavor with most US students. Some of the more reputable caribbean schools offer most, if not all, of the clinical rotations in the US in teaching hospitals. The students at UAG don't get to do rotations in the US. There are required mexican internships that all students must undertake BEFORE becoming eligible for the 5th pathway if they don't get it the first go-round. This 5th pathway thing has suffered. There used to be a bunch of US medical schools/hospitals that took 5th pathways from UAG, but now only NYMC holds the ONLY 5th pathway for US students. THere aren't enough spots for everyone, so if you didn't get a 5th pathway spot, you're stuck in mexico doing the internship and alot of other community work until they grant you your MD. You don't automatically get your degree when you graduate. Check into this. The 5th pathway isn't what it used to be. Might I direct you to the "Federation of Foreign medical schools" website? Just type that into Google and poof there you go! You'll get an interesting perspective of how students, both current and ex-, feel about the school. Now, since the school is not attracting many US students, admissions is relatively easy. I've been told that if you're competitive for Ross and AUC, you'll be competitive for the UAG (which is around a 2.5 gpa or higher). Also, if you plan on coming back to the US in the 5th pathway, make sure you have you MCATs on file. You are not eligible for the 5th pathway without them. Trust me. Alot of people are upset with the school because the front office tends to lose things and when they lose things it costs you money and sets you back. This is what I heard, so take it for what it's worth. I recommend that you talk to graduates of UAG. I know quite abit about the school because my doctor went there and he told me to investigate it. And, from what I've seen, many US students aren't happy and often end up transferring to the caribbean. But, who am I, right? I say check out the website I referred you to and talk to people who've been there! That's the best thing you can do. I wish you luck. If you have any questions I'll try my best to help.
