Hi so I’m at one of the bigger well known carrib schools and I’m in a trial program it’s something new they’ve been testing out for 3 years ( no tuition charged till December for first semester no credits earned or even attempted and no transcript even unless I pass and decide to stay ) all I had to do was pay for housing and books. My question is if I decide to drop this would I be able to apply for US MD/DO schools ?
I wouldn’t even have a transcript to give amcas or aacomas and I wouldn’t be able to show credits attempted or earned since this is 0 credits attempted until after the evaluation date in December then I’m charged tuition and fees if I decide to stay.
So if I decide to drop obviously I’ll lose out on the money for housing but will I be okay to apply US MD/DO again ?

So despite being asked on many secondaries if you previously attended a medical, you’d just lie about it and say NO? No matter the “rules” of the school, you are in fact attending med school classes aren’t you?
Just for my info, What are results of the first three years of this trial?

If a school has devised a dodge for required reporting, I would have a very low opinion of that school.

They're just finding new ways to drag people down there. Once you've invested time and money, why wouldn't anyone stay? That's very smart actually!

Hi I never said I would lie I don’t think I implied that at all but honestly I’m just looking for advice.

I said I have no credits earned or even attempted so no way to show these schools or prove to them for amcas and aacomas that I attended except for I guess a credit card statement ? Maybe an email ? There’s no enrollment verification either. That’s why I’m asking. Actually when I think about it it’s kinda like when you’re auditing a class if that makes sense ? Ur not earning or attempting credits you’re just in it ?

Even when you go on the aacomas transcript section they say they’ll discard Caribbean medical transcripts and I don’t even have a transcript to give them so idk ?
Also for results I think it’s 90% ? Since u just have to pass the first semester and then they give u credits and charge u tuition and u then get access to federal loans

Well, if you won't lie then the only answer is to disclose that you were enrolled in "one of the bigger well known carrib schools" in a trial program that allowed you to withdraw after the first semester with no record of your attendance. It's totally not like an audit because, with an audit, you don't go back at the end of the semester, if you do well, and pay tuition and receive a grade! It's a scam to allow you to lie to American schools about your attendance. And, as @DrStephenStrange suggested, to allow you sample island life for one semester with no further obligation.

You will be as okay to apply in the US as if you weren't in the program, i.e., it will be big red flag. If you wanted to have a decent shot on a US reapplication, you shouldn't have gone to the Caribbean. Now, you are either lying and hoping you never get caught, or you are lying in the bed you made in the Carribean (pun intended 🙂). What other advice is there to give?

And otherwise, you wouldn't have a very low opinion of any Caribbean school? 🙂
