Saba also has 50 state approval. I wouldn't go to anywhere other than those 4, but the next best would probably be SMU. If you're getting interviews at US schools, you will probably get into one of the big 4.


Edit: I accidentally put CMU instead of SMU the first time around. That's definitely shouldn't be a consideration though, if they're still around.

slevit, I don't think SABA is on the academically equivalent list for Texas. Not saying that a graduate of SABA could not practice in Texas but they would have to jump through a lot of hoops to accomplish this when the other three already have 'equivalence'.

Please stay on topic

Hey guys,
I am a senior undergrad (bio major) with one semester left; thinking about applying to AUC for fall of 08. Currently, I have around a 3.0 cumulative and 3.0 science, with a 28 MCAT. I will have completed one year of plant biochemistry research with a distinguished professor by the time I graduate. I don't have much volunteering/shadowing experience. What are my chances?

pretty decent i believe....make sure to get your app in early. shadowing is nice but it won't make up for a poor mcat score.....a problem you don't have

You have a great chance. I'd be very surprised if you didn't get in. There'd have to be something bad in your app (like a criminal record)

Thanks a lot for all your help guys. I am actually supposed to retake the MCAT this Friday, but to be honest, I haven't done much additional prep since the first one. I am a little concerned that my score may go down. Should I consider cancelling the scores if I feel I didn't do well? Also, do you think it would be beneficial to try to squeeze in some volunteer hours this semester, or doesn't it matter (not necessary, too little too late, etc)? Once again, thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

If you have not studied well I would not take it, why stress yourself out. Your MCAT is above average for all of the top 3 / 4 Caribbean schools. Spending some time shadowing a physican is always good but you will get accepted to AUC and Ross more than likely even without it. However, I am not on the Adcom so what do I know!
