Confused

[King of Abuja]

Due to family emergency i failed biochem at ross and now ross is telling me to repeat they the whole semester all over again even those classes that i have passed. Since I dont want to repeat a semester at ross i need help on which school will accept me as a transfer. Thank you and i really appreciate your help.

Generally, AUC doesn't accept transfers for students who are not in good academic standing at their current school. I think you'll find that SGU and Saba are the same (but don't quote me on it!) I have no idea about the more recent schools like St. Matthew's, Nevis, AUA, etc.

As usual, none of us are on the AUC (or any other med school's) admissions board, so the only way to know for sure is to ask them yourself. American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (http://www.aucmed.edu)

You may eventually find that your best option is just to repeat at Ross (it's still just 1st semster, right?) or just start over at some other school. Good luck!

you would be better off to just repeat....it will look better (well less bad actually) if you just stay at ross...you can explain away the failed grade (esp if the rest of your tenure is above par, showing that 1st semester was a fluke and not a trend) as you did, but transfering from school to school will raise a red flag forever more...

if ross is willing to allow you to repeat, suck it up and repeat...

you should just reapply to AUC and start over.....as mentioned, its doubtful they will transfer the classes you passed if you arent in good standing.

Well failing a class doesn't mean you are in bad standing. That's really only if you are put on some sort of academic probation or are actually kicked out for too many failed credits

well a big fat "F" on your transcript isn't exacly GOOD standing...and i would think that a person with an F and having to repeat would be on some sort of academic probation...

[kemper6036]

if you're kicked out, then you have no standing

From my understanding, a lot of people fail in Ross and have to repeat a semester, and a lot of those people go on to success. Stay in Ross and fight for all you're worth. Transferring between Carib schools, especially with an F on your transcript would send up a red flag.

An F does not put you on probation here. Only way that happens actually is if you haven't completed a certain amount of credits by the beginning of your 3rd semester.

all the more that the OP should just stay at Ross...
