WOW i feel like all you guys are stressing out. Most of the messages I have read are from people with MCATs waaaay better than mine. Well I just received news of acceptance to AUC Fall 2008 class, my stats are as follows:
GPA 3.6 Sc GPA 3.4 MCAT 22 I do have 2+ years research experience so maybe that helped? Also, I have 3+ years of extra curriculars. However my overall grades are pretty average. If I got in, Im sure a lot of you guys won't have a problem. Hope that helps! GOOD LUCK

for AUC your gpa I would think is above average... I got in with 3.15 GPA, and a 25 MCAT for the fall 2008 semester.

 Medical Schools do look at improvement, but you have to realize that US schools are already swamped with plenty of applications from students who have made excellent grades all the way through their academic careers.... as the admissions director from ECU told us in a meeting of our "pre-health professionals" club (dorky name, I know), "The 4.0 GPAs and good MCATs are a dime a dozen - we get them all the time... what we really want to see is how you are developing as a person." In my opinion, your scores are great for the Caribbean - I think you have a great shot at the "big 4" (stupid nickname). Apply and see...

AUC vs SGU has been discussed before. Basically SGU has better facilities (but you pay a lot more), very large class size (poor student:teacher ratio), and a less-developed island. AUC is located on a better island, has smaller class sizes, and is cheaper.

Hey y'all,
This whole discussion is very helpful. Here is my insecure plea now  2.9- GPA...low, I know. 27Q on the MCAT...I have def. improved my study habits. Pretty solid resume, worked all through undergrad, have summer research in labs, some hospital volunteering, leadership roles etc. What do you think? Also...how much more competitive is the Sepetember semester compared to May or January? Also, any thougts on that as of tonight, the AUC website was still accepting apps for May? Doesn't the semester start in less than a month from now? Thanks!
