Now they are quite picky on who they accept - there just happens to be 350+ students who are qualified and many many more who apply.

lolol ofcourse ross is only in business to make fine physicians, they would never admit shady characters into school just for $$.

MCAT 21, Gpa 2.9 I'll be honest don't even bother with US schools. Go the Caribbean route. with a Gpa that low, even a 30 on the MCAT won't get you into a US school. Depend how long you're willing to wait. you could go get a masters, bring up your gpa to at least a 3.6 and retake the MCAT. But even the it's no guarantee because they're plenty of students at SGU and Ross who have masters and even PhD. Goo luck.

You will be fine -- dont' take it over and don't go getting your masters either... You will have no problem getting into Ross -- I'm not being sarcastic, I'm actually being serious. Ross does like it when you take your MCAT, but it's not going to "make or break" your acceptance... What matters is your grades (which a 2.9 is okay) and your volunteer work really helps -- they like it alot. I'd be willing to bet money you'll get in without problems.

Like the Shoe says, JUST DO IT.

Masters won't bring up the gpa that high!!!! In addition, it will take you at least 2 years to do your masters!!!! I say it is better to apply to the top 5 schools in the CAribbean!

Peace

Hey don't know if you know this but....DeVry Institute bought Ross U. a couple years back. They are changing things at the school...some changes are good some really bad. I know you want M.D. after your name but ....could you live with a DeVry Institute Diploma on your office wall?

Although Devry bought the school...you will hear or see nothing of Devry at Ross. Ross is still independantly managed under Devry's supervision.

By the way...the diploma only says Ross University on it.
