Whoever is in charge of the website really needs to get their act together and clean it up.

I found these requirements buried in a professor's bio page, so for those of you who want to know "WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?", here you go:

http://www.aucmed.edu/07_19.php


NEW AUC ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
ALL APPLICANTS FOR THE JANUARY 2003 SEMESTER AND
THEREAFTER MUST HAVE:

A minimum MCAT score of 20, and

A minimum GPA of 2.6, unless his or her MCAT score is 25 or above.




ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
The minimum requirement for admission to the School of Medicine is 90 semester credits of college level courses. However, a baccalaureate degree is preferred. The college credit must include:

Biology - One year of Biology, including Laboratory work. Prospective students will benefit by taking courses in one or more of the following: Genetics, Cellular Biology, Developmental Biology, and Comparative Anatomy.

General Chemistry - One year of General Chemistry, including Laboratory work. Organic Chemistry - One year of Organic Chemistry, including Laboratory work. Coursework should include both aliphatic and aromatic compounds.

General Physics - One year of General Physics, including Laboratory work. General introductory coursework should include mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, and nuclear radiation.

English - One year. Satisfactory written and verbal skills are necessary. A generous exposure to mathematics, humanities, and social sciences is desired. Real life experience in the health care field is strongly recommended.

A personal interview may be requested at the discretion of the Admissions Committee.

All applicants are expected to take the MCAT.

SELECTION FACTORS
Evaluation for admission is conducted on an individual basis. Students who enter AUC's medical school are selected for their intellectual and social maturity, and they represent a wide variety of educational and social backgrounds.

Problem-solving skills, critical judgment and the ability to pursue independent study are considered important. In evaluating academic achievement, the Committee considers factors such as course load, difficulty of the courses, and major area of study. In the non-academic realm, maturity, personal integrity, emotional and motivational factors are considered essential determinants.

The admissions committee considers that many factors are relevant predictors of a good medical clinician. However, medical school is a rigorous academic challenge and the committee must be satisfied that a prospective student has the ability to successfully assimilate the curriculum.

those requirements are only listed on the european website for auc, not the u.s. one

i'm not saying they don't apply equally to both, i am saying that is 30 percent likely the case, and 70 percent that either the person in charge of the website or their superior needs to get on the ball.

No, Raj, there is no european website. There is only one website, and that's www.aucmed.edu.

Dr. Model is the Dean of Clinical Studies in Europe, however, he lectures regularly in Sint Maarten for history and physical diagnosis while also contributing to immunology and neuroscience.

The entrance requirements for January 2003 and beyond are erroneously posted on his bio page.

You know I actually know of someone starting this semster that has a 2.6 GPA and a 19 on the MCAT.

Although by stating this people will start posting again, "What are my chances?"

Somehow I get the impression also that if someone could deliver 1000 troy oz of Gold to a certain person living in Pelican Key that the grade and MCAT requirements would be waved.

I figure if people got the school's requirements from the source (the AUC webpage), that there would be no need to query whether or not they qualify. It's that simple.
