They keep telling me to return to the states and go to PA school. None of them are being helpful in telling me how things are at AUA, is it creditable, and serious things of that nature.
Does anybody have any advice on AUA? Or even options on what to do at this juncture. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You just answered your own question . Firstly , most dimissed students did not even have a good undergrad gpa and not even eligible for the scholar's program .
Secondly the fact that LOTS of students have been dismissed from Ross and have transferred into AUA , passed the usmle , thrived in clinicals and have either matched or in the process of matching proves beyond any reasonable doubt that a ross dismissal is not the end of the road . It may actually be a blessing when you really do think about it .
Good luck with your new school ..wheter it is AUA or SMU ..you will be an MD - just rock your boards
p.s no need to switched to PA if your heart is set on an MD - go for it ...you live only once
Just work harder when you get to your new school . Years from now you will sit back and laugh at your trials that you have conquered .
