what are my chances?

This simply is not true. Students have already said that there are lots of empty seats in the semester 1 classroom.

Additionally, even when all you needed was a pulse to get in Ross never passed students that didn't deserve to pass. Some schools pass everybody, but from what I've heard Ross has always had fair but strict passing standards. 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.

except, now a pulse won't guarantee you'll make it all the way through.

Offshore schools are definitely gaining popularity now that the older ones have officially met the educational requirements of all 50 states. I think that's a good thing.

all is 12,000+ dollars from salle mae or from moms and pops and ross admissions will greet you with a big grin on their face.

ross is a business, which gives selected few who make it through the chance to become and MD. try your damnest to get into an american school, if you still want to be a doctor after that, welcome.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, "Apply and find out..."

[HocusPocus]

forget carib schools, retake the mcat and apply to american schools.

+++++++

ross should be dead last on your list,

they let you retake the mcat 3 times, shoot for it.

Any chance of getting into Ross with a 2.9 GPA and a 23M on the mcat?

Most definately re-take the MCAT, continue volunteering, find a job doing some research which might lead to a publication, learn Spanish if you don't already know it, and definately apply to US schools. Depending on your age and how long you willing to wait, I'd apply at least 2X because almost 50% of matriculants to US schools are 2nd time applicants.

Ross says they look at the individual as a whole, they evaluate the whole application. What have you done so far in terms of your commitment to medicine (e.g volunteering, research, etc)? what makes you unique? why didn't you do as well in undergrad, and what will you do differently in med school? You should be prepare to address all of these questions. Good luck.
