Either way, they're probably going to interview you to find out what happened. I'd be surprised if they just let it fly. I would be concerned that you already failed out of one caribbean school, so why should things be any different here. Not saying they won't accept you, or that you couldn't get things together and do well, but it's definitely a big strike against you. I think you're gonna have a lot of explaining to do, and hope you have a little luck to go along with it.

if you left ross cause you failed out, then your chances are not as good regarding getting into AUC. maybe you need to consider somewhere like SMU or AUA or anyone of the schools listed on the forum's main page. your chances there will be better.

If you fail at AUC, SGU, or Ross why not transfer to SMU, if you fail at SMU, why not try another SMU.

Just curious, is there usually an interview or a straight acceptance or rejection? Usually how long is the wait until a decision. Waiting for decisions and interviews is hard =[

lostcase, it looks like we are in the same boat. I have almost identical stats to you. My applications were just finished late last week and am now waiting. Although I don't have the expertise in the "will I get in question," from the answers I have gotten, you have a decent chance.

Also, I was told that the committee was on vacation at the moment, so they will have to catch up to all the candidates profiles that have been piling up. This might delay the decisions a little bit.
