I have tons of volunteer experience, research experience, excellent references, and I am very passionate about a career in medicine. Is the may sessions still open? Do you think I should risk not going to St. James where I am accepted and wait until Sept. to go to Saba?

I myself applied to several offshore medical schools such as Xavier, St. James and St. Christopher....and I had a similar GPA as you ......and I worked almost full time hours during my University studies.....I got accepted to all the schools I applied but I wasn't comfortable going to schools like Xavier, St James and St. Christopher’s...who had no graduates practicing in US or Canada......and the schools are bit shady too when it comes on to getting license in U.S..states. I then made my mind to apply to the big three and Saba was my first attempt.....mainly because is was way cheaper then SGU, AUC and Ross.......and they offered me admission in May 2005.....and not to mention I applied in August......but I decided that its way better to go to the big 4 : SGU, Saba, AUC and Ross then to go to other shady and new medical schools......so I got myself a good job and will start this May 2005........the best way is to do research about the schools.....you can check out the following site to give you some insight:
