Got Into Mua, St.james, Windsor, And Aua, Interviewed With Umhs.need Advice

I am fairly new to carribean medical schools but have been doing intensive research for about 5 months now. Windsor and St. james are very cheap which is a plus but I have my drawbacks about them (as there are with most). I got accepted into MUA and I am hearing good things about this school as well. Last but not least I interviewed with UMHS which is extremely new but with Dr. Ross reputation it would be hard for it not to fly. I actually met with Dr. Ross as well as the dean (his son) and was thoroughly impressed with their vision and what they had to offer. Their 30 million dollar facility is state of the art and it seems they are going in the right direction. To be honest I am more impressed with umhs (interview process was stressful-2 hours-ouch, but informative) than some of the others. Of course the drawback is it not having a proven track record. Please give me some advice, I am at a loss. I am mostly concerned with increasing my chances of doing well on the USMLE and specializing after graduating. Any help? Thanks.

it's way too early to consider UMHS...if you were accepted into AUA and MUA-N, your decision lies there - the others should not be considered.

If I were in your shoes I would go with 1. MUA than 2. UMHS. I wouldnt go belown those two unless you have to. Keep us posted on what you decide! I'll hopefully be making similar choices come this time next year!

Windsor, thumbs up, and the other school, which is on the same Island, I don't know much about it. But the people behind it are of great standards and experiences.


WUSOM-my school, good teaching and not faking it. Quality education as well.

Wusom- A mega campus and reallly , really cheap tuition and cost of living on the Island is super duper fly for a short pocketed MD student. The island is cleaner too
Take it from me b/c I was there and experienced the whole for two semesters.
I am in 5th semester now. Make sure you visit the campuses for the other school you just listed as well. You'd be amazed!


I wish you well, my friend!
