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

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.

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.
