for all that is holy do your pre med in the US or whatever country you are at.. do not do pre-meds at any caribbean school because they are worthless. yes it will get you in that school and that school only because these med schools are not acredited to grant undergrad degrees the credits they issue are worth about as much as the paper they printed on outside that school. if you start out and find that you don't like the school for whatever reason then you are stuck because no decent school accepts tranfer credit

the other issue is farther down the road...you need 60-90 credits from an accredited insitution for licensure in most states so getting these pre med credits from an unacredited school may harm you in the end if the medical board looks into it.

get your GED, get in a community college and take the bare bones pre meds then tranfer to a university for your last year to finish the pre reqs and then apply to any school you want knowing you have a choice where you go and are not stuck with pre med credits useless outside that school

saving 9 months by doing one of these premed currriculums is not worth what you loose and what it may cost you in the long run
