BEWARE!!!! My son attended All Saints in Aruba for 7 months, was a good vacation, he had all A's in his studies but the directors could not provide him with a residency program in the states that we could call and confirm their acceptance of All Saints program. The talk was pretty good and even fooled us for 7 months but when the school moved into the new building to have classes with no doors, air conditioning, lights, water or desk & chairs we became concerned and he moved back to the states and enrolled at University Of South Alabama where none of his classes were accepted but he did have a nice vacation and we guess it was a learning experience. They did at that time (this was 1 year ago) have some teachers that were very good at teaching and had foreign degrees that seemed to be real but I think they to were scamed and promised if they came there to teach they could end up in the U.S. as medical doctors but that did not happen either. Just beware and get some back up confirmation of where the studies at All Saints will take you!!

Where can i get more information about transferring to ASUM in the premed program? What if i only have done a semester or two, will i still get accepted? My grades will be fine enough...

I know that almost all US states require some evidence of undergrad study before you can get licensed (I think it's around 60-90 credits)... and these must be obtained from already approved instituions... I doubt ASUOM is one of them. Please make sure you contact the school about this issue before actually attempting their pre-med program... Just b/c it states that it is ninety credits doesn't neccesarily mean that you have completed three years worth of undergrad in one year... their ciriculum needs be evaluated and I doubt you can cover all the necessities in one year. As many posters have already stated, this is a huge risk, stay safe and get your undergrad dun from an instituion that you know for a fact is recognized (i.e. America/Canada). The chances that you take in pre-meds here may hurt you in the future, i can almost guarantee it.
Aswell, I've heard from many of the senior members that undergrad credit (ie. premed) in the carribean doens't mean jack in the US!

Also SOE as for the dual **/MD programmes in the states, tehre are only 23 institutions which offer them and you need pretty much 96%+ outta highschool + nearly perfect SAT Scores...they are almost as competitive as the undergrad MBBS programs in UK and Ireland

It is a very bad decision to take the premed courses in a carribbean univeristy because there is no state in America is willing to accept them. The major reason is that schools are territorial and they are only willing to accept units within their own circle of friends (own district) and anything outside of that little district is an immediate rejection. I am sure that this person probably has a lot of money and two years to waste, but all states would much rather accept units from a low tier college (cc) than anything from a carribbean school. If you are in such hurry to rush into medical school, the best thing u should do is satisfy your undergrad requirements in a 2 year institution (save you a ton of money) and then transfer to where ever you want to go. By rushing into the carribbeans without the taking any classes from the states, you are going to end up with a lot of trouble and a ton of debt after you graduate.
