sure at UWI but where would you be wanting to use the degrees? The dental degree wouldn't be recognized in the US and you would have to go to dental school again. OD degree could be recognized.

There are also schools in Central America (Guyana, Costa Rica, Belize,Guatemala)

If you fail at AUC, SGU, or Ross why not transfer to SMU, if you fail at SMU, why not try another SMU.

dental

The challenging thing about obtaining dental school acceptance is that usually on average, a school accepts 30-50 students versus 120-165 in a US Medical School....

Not only that but...

Dentistry is oral surgery, optometry does not include any srugical component. Also, many dental programs offer combined DDS /Maxillofacial surgery residency options.

I am not putting down optometry, Ok?
