How hard is it to get in...

[dapmp91]

Hi I would like to know how hard is it go get into SGU, I know this is one of the better schools in the Carribean, or one of the best that I have heard, my gpa is 3.45 (its pretty bad, I'm working to make it a 3.5 at least), and I haven't taken the MCAT, and have very very very modest extracurriculars alrite thanks guys...

your gpa is fine for SGU just get at least a 26 and you should get in. Also if you get a 30 or higher i would apply to US schools if I were you. And just spend the summer volunteering at a hospital or shadowing a doctor or two.

sgu is easier to get into than most american schools, so if your scores are below average for us schools, but not much lower, then you should get in

Just a couple of quick questions... would anybody know what the oldest MCAT score SGU would take? Does the school also have a time limit on pre-reqs? Thanks. I took the MCAT in 1997 and graduated in 1998

um ten years might be pushing it.. I would call the school with this question.

[PharmDoc]

yea, I probably thought so... was looking at Ross's website and they said that they have no time limit on MCAT scores... even taking scores back to 1995... didn't know if it was a similar policy for most carib schools.

you should really call the school with this. i really have no clue about this, that was just my personal comment
