Hi! I have a 2.85 sci GPA (all hard-science), 3.4 overall (because I took alot of psych and biopsych in my last 2 years), from Cornell University. I do not have physics. No Mcat yet. I have research experience and have been presented. If I study hard for my MCat next year and take physics, and apply the year after, do you think i have a chance at some of the carribean schools? I will go ANYWHERE, as long as it is affordable and I can practice in the US afterwards.

I have wanted to go to to med school since forever. At the end of sophomore year at Cornell I had a 2.8 in sci and I believed that it was over. I should not have believed the statistics and my advisors.

So instead of trying to get into med school, I decided to go into a clinical psych phD and become a pediatric neuropsychologist. Well, I busted my *** to get into the clinical phD and at first I thought I wouldn't get into that either, but I learned to use the proper strategies and understood that nothing is impossible if you really try hard - and I got into schools and did much better than I expected. The problem is , now that I've understood that, I don't want to stay with my 2nd choice anymore! From what I've been learning about neuropsychologists , they do not nearly have the same freedom and diagnostic expertise as MDs do. Their decisions are not nearly as well respected. I wish somebody had told me about the Carribean schools when I was an undergrad. I feel oh, so stupid. But maybe it's not too late? I'm 25 now. I will be 27 by the time I can go to med school, if I am lucky to get in. Better late than never.
