From Drexel's website:
"Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents."

Oh, and a few other tips.... 1) Take more classes to increase your undergrad GPA (upper level science courses) 2) get a 4.0 in a special masters program and you will probably get into a state school (with research, excellent LOR's, etc...). Mabey try drexels early acceptance program and enroll there... If you don't feel like doing that just come to the Caribbean and go to one of the big 4...Hope this helps...

OK, you're wrong, but whatever.

AUC is not gonna take you just for bragging rights. As I've already said, you may or may not get in, you might have a 50/50 change. Your MCAT is good, but your GPA sucks. And no MCAT score should make up for such a low GPA, particularly with a downward trend. Fortunately for you, I'm not on the admissions committee. So, while it is NOT a guarantee, you have a shot and it's worth applying.
