You have a pretty good shot at either Ross or St. George's. I don't know about any boat lines connecting Grenada or Dominica to St. Kitts, but I'm sure you could get flights there through LIAT or one of the other Caribbean airlines.

might consider AUC. The airport is >3 min to school and Liat runs specials to St Kitts from SXM often. Not sure but I think the airport is bigger and offers more flights in SXM.

Good luck

Thank you both for the replies. That sucks the only way to get from Dominica, Grenada to St. Kitts is by plane.

I didn't say it was the only way. I'm just not familiar with boat lines running between the different islands. I just thought a plane might be easier. After all, its a lot faster. Or did you prefer a boat because its less expensive than a plane?

If you want to go you can just finish the post bac and apply you would get accepted without the post bac. Your grades or better then most who apply

Planes are the only way to go from island to island

Not exactly. You can take "ferry boats" to nearby islands from St. Maarten where AUC is. I know they goto Saba, Anguilla and St. Barths daily. I found this online

I am sure you could go to one island and hop on another ferry to get there. I know it seems like a pain or you could just get on a plane from St. Maarten for about $70 + taxes I think and they aren't the cheapest but certainly doable. Good luck.

Really? I did not know I stand corrected.

Thank you
