A faculty member at the University of Texas, CP, wrote a book some years ago about off-shore schools. (He has written a good book on fluid management in surgical patients and I believe he is an adjust prof at SGU). He actually travelled around and visited various schools and, at the time, recommended the Mexican Schools over carib schools. The book is out of date now (published in the mid 90's) and I suspect he would change his mind now. He might be useful person to contact because he is familiar both with SGU and the Mexican schools. As I recall, he gave rave reviews to another Mexican school that he thought was better (and less expensive) than UAG.

"Foreign Medical Schools for U.S. Citizens by CP, M.D., Ph.D. (P.O. Box 790617, San Antonio, TX 78279-0617). This wonderful book is now back in print in an updated 1995 edition. It gives anecdotal, well-written, and very informative write-ups on the good and less-good best foreign schools for American medical school applicants, as well as application tips and other survival advice. "

The Medical School Applicant: advice for premedical students by CP, M.D., Ph.D. (see immediately above). Another wonderful book by Dr. P, bringing his unique perspective to all the usual matters that books on medical schools have, and a great deal more, including a remarkable chapter on "Special Angles: The Dirty Tricks Department a frank analysis of unconventional pathways to a medical education."

Hope that helps.
