[orcheid23]

hey has anyone heard of aimu.need answers now.thinkin about startin premed there.:roll:. its american international medical university found in st.lucia.seems to be accreditted.

[jameslynton]

St.Lucia has tons of medical schools. However, who are they accreditted with? That's the kicker St Lucia accreditation means zip - nill - the null case - zero.

Generally only two schools (SGU and AUA) have pre-med programs where your pre-med is taken back in the states as valid. (Ask tipton) General rule of thumb - stay away from any pre-med in the islands unless it is the University of the West Indies school in Jamaica and Tridad or SGU and AUA.

The rest are money mills - they churn and burn you till your loans are bleed dry then they kick you out. Not a good idea at all.

[jameslynton]

They are not on VMD - this school is in IMED - they started in 2007 - they have no track record - these are not good signs.

[med etudiant]

MUA Pre-Med is taken back to the states.

Hey James!!...you hit the nail on the head......ive been to this school......it promises a lot...but its better to stay away from it!!I originally came to ValueMD to research schools and get info for the Step 1 exam. Being an older student - I found out plenty over the years and reading and visiting schools and meeting with school officials from about five of the island schools. I was accepted in two schools - then looked at what my mission was - I wanted to go into research. You can save yourself time, effort and money by carefully reading ValueMD way before you start college.
