I would say without a doubt MUA hands down. AUA has no proven track record. Additionally, i suspect AUA may have problems down the road due to the fact that they are able to complete their 5th semester in Miami FL. Although that does sound very appealing- the chance to come back into the states after only 4 semesters of island life, BUT as far as i know, the entire basic sciences curriculum must be completed in the country which the charter is given. In AUA's case, their charter is in Antigua, so they can not offer any courses in the states without violating some rules/laws. See St. Chris Univ. for a good reason why one should not attend a school who's charter is in one country, while classes are offered in another.

Also- AUA is much more expensive than MUA. MUA now has NY approval, plus tons of residents in most specialties, many licensed grads, more clinical sites... etc

MUA by far.

Sure man no problem. I may come next month to see how you guys are doing there (but not sure yet)...Enjoy as much as you can.

Hi. I also have been accepted for Pre-Med in Sept 06 - very excited. I just found this site - I think it is going to be a very useful tool. Any good advice for me?

If anyone can answer this for me, if i got into to the premed1 program in September 06 but have decided to only start in January 2007 will i be able to defer my addmission till then?

Yes you can defer, call Gardner, MA and talk to them about it. I know of one girl this semester in pre med that deferred until this semester. Good luck!

are seats still available for sept 06? I thought they were all closed...

My best advice is to read these forums as much as you can, and take a trip down to visit the school/island if you are able to!

Any specific questions? Id be happy to answer them if I can, i am going to be in pre med 1 starting sept and I have visited the island already and am going back in a few weeks for a second trip!!
