Unhappy Need to go to KMC through twinning in July'07

Hello everyone I need help asap! I got accepted to AUA basic sciences for the fall but I am very much interested in going to KMC as part of the twinning program to start in July. I just found out on friday that I got accepted to AUA. Do you think it is too late for me to start in India my first semester?

I just think it would be a pain to start my 1st semester in Antigua, and then start in India in January. So if you all could let me know in your opinion how much time it would take me to plan and co-ordinate ( medical work before leaving to India, buying plane tickets,etc)for my 1st semester in India (in july).

Also, Mr.T***** C****** was telling me that it is 3 semesters per year in Antigua as opposed to only two semesters in KMC. If that is true, would it take us longer to finish our basic sciences in India? Because if I started in in Anigua in september 07, I will be finished with the basic sciences by December of 08. Then my fifth semester I would be in Miami in January of 09. If KMC has two semesters per year in India, it would take me till July of 2009.
But on the plus side, since AUA is not approved my California yet, maybe if we do all our 4 semesters in KMC and if our diplomas have KMC also on them, ( and since KMC is definitely approved by the state of California, and KMC grads practice in all parts of the US), maybe it is better to spend that extra few months and just go to India.......
That also brings me to the question, what would our diploma say if we are in the twinning program but spent all our semesters in KMC???
Can someone clarify any/ some of this for me please... I'm just soo utterly confused about what I should do. I would realllyyy appreciate it! any advice,opinion, help would be greatttttt!
p.s. I'll be coming from houston, Texas

you have a lot of questions here and i'm lazy and don't like repeating myself so i'll stick to one of yours.

No, just because you're in the twinning program, does not enable you to be licensed in California. Only if you enroll at KMC outside the AUA/KMC Twinning program will you be eligible for licensure in California at this time.

i'd also like to add that the answers to all your question are in this forum. do a search, do some reading...you may have to look a little bit this is a big part of choosing the right school, finding the answers on your own and asking questions later, since may can give you false info. good luck
