thats great news!!! I will also be in MD1 next semester (currently in Premed IV )....... the school maybe new but its worth i think..... Hopefully by next semester they will have the new campus done and let me tell you its a beauty..... i have been in the program in Dominica since the start and i have seen the school progress and grow.... the school is moving at record speed and it within the next year should have a good identity..... if you have any questions about housing or anything like food feel free to contact me.....

I had an opportunity to meet fifteen students belong to all saints doing Clinical in Indiana including two of them transfered from US medical schools. So don't believe anyone.

Have you looked at their webpage? I know that there is more to a school than just facilties..but it looks like they're running there school out of a old rum distillery. A new school is always a gamble, but if that's what you have to work with, then go for it.

The current building is not the one they using next semester...... The building you saw on the web-page is a temporary building that will no longer be used next semester.... If you contact the school they can sen you a detailed pic of the the new building that is being renovated..... the new building is 20x better.Secondly, I wouldn't call this school a gamble for many reasons:

1) All Saint already have students that have passed the USMLE and are doing rotations... (again ask the main office for more info)

2) The school has only been in operation for a short while but, in my opinion has surpassed some of the other Caribbean Medical Schools.

3) The school just recently (before the semester began) went out of the way and got the ex SABA dean to help with the growth of the school and Acred.

I am not saying that this school is on the same level as ROSS, AUC, SABA, or even SMU... but it is legit and i am sure that they school will have a great reputation like the mentioned above one day... it will take time tho..... as for the present, the new SABA dean is working on the Acred and i believe (dont quote me on this) that within the next year the school will be NYC and some of the other easier states that require extra acred approved. I even agree that the new renovated site will not be like the beautiful campus of AUC or other colleges but it will get the job done in the means of have labs, library, etc. The teachers here are great and well qualified (in my opinion) and they are always willing to help. But again i have another 2 years before i write the USMLE and if your gonna enter into MD1 next semester you have about 1year 6moths and thats a long time for the school to grow. If your thinking about applying then do so and be sure to call the main office in Toronto and talk to the Heads of the school, they are always willing to talk to future and current students.

These are my opinion, plz dont start a flame ware on this.

Dude - Brob is in his second term at Ross - I seriously doubt he is interested in your school. New schools are a big gamble. Best wishes for your successful medical school studies.

Thanks for the shout-out james...Whatever path you need to take to get an MD, do it. There is a risk taken for evey caribb school you attend, it is just a matter of how big of a risk do you want to take.
