I havnt actually started basic sciences yet at IAU but I am scheduled for the September semester so thats why I am looking at all my options now and really evaluating before I jump into anything. I talked to the Sint Eustatius clinical department and they supposdely do have decent clinicals and do have all greenbook cores and electives but in limited amounts as expected, but its doable and they do have loans through Teri and Drs Choice for the clinical part also.

I just really wish IAU administration would give this part of their medical program more importance and hopefully obtain more ACGME rotations.

Yeah, about transfer... I received this email from the assistant dean of admissions from Ross today:

"...RUSM is no longer accepting transfer credit towards an MD from IAU. You can only be considered as a first semester applicant. Please contact feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,"

what are you serious a first semester? wow that is insane! not even a 5th semester, but 1st semester? I have no words at all, a little shocked. Hope something works out for you, you put in alot of time and money in this and scored high on step 1.

The dean of AUC told me personally if offered acceptance I would still have to re-do 5th semester. They have a policy that more than 50% of course work must be done there. I still have paperwork pending for acceptance.

I got an in-person interview for AUA in two weeks, wish me luck.

SGU, SABA, MUA, and St. Mathews will not take an applicant from IAU for credit of the basic science curriculum, regardless of step one scores.

I hear you. Saint Matt's also will not accept any basic science transfer credit from U.S. osteopathic institutions. (More than a shade ironic, since they hire adjunct faculty from osteopathic schools, and train their students in clinical rotations at osteopathic hospitals.)

Transfer can be a bear, but with your Step One scores I am confident that something will work out! Good luck...

What about their green book rotation, for example like Saba and AUC do they have all green book rotation?

SGU has all green cores and electives. SGU also provides all green cores and electives. The other's do have some non-green rotations. It's up to the student to be sure that they turn down anything but green spots.

AUC has all green core rotations and you can do all green electives
