Haha, first it's IAU.
Second, no I didn't take MCATS. With that said, almost every program I talked to in order to transfer either stated that it would not be needed since I have passing USMLE scores (mostly Carribean schools said this despite what their website claimed) or they would not take me coming from a Carribean school or IAU (mostly U.S. schools.) Only the 5th pathway programs required it, but almost all of them are ending this year except for Mt. Sinai.
As for school's facilities, it had 3 classrooms which could hold about 50 students each and 3 small case study rooms which could hold about 6 or 7 students comfortably. The anatomy lab was sufficient with models and 2 cadavers (when I was there) but the labs for physiology, pathology, and microbiology kinda sucked. I had a few micro questions in relation to specific testing steps on Step One which could of been made easier with real labs instead of a power point presentation on it.
