I sent off an email to one of the admissions counsellors and she sent me a copy of the application for deferral form (I don't think this is available in the "forms" section on the school site). The form is fairly basic, it asks for your regular personal information (name, address, original start date etc.), what your reason for deferral is (short explanation of a few lines required) and what semester you would like acceptance to. You also have to include a cheque for $500 for the deferment fee. However if your request is granted they will apply this fee to your tuition. If I recall I thought I read that if your request is denied they will refund your money, but I can't seem to find where I read this so best to check with the counsellor when you speak to him/her. I was accepted for the May semester back in August of 07, and applied for my deferral in January of 08, so in terms of timing, changes to the process, and spots left the situation may be a little different now.

Hope this helps!

Any idea when's the latest one can defer?

Let's say you pay your tuition by July 15th, but decide in August you can't go...can you still defer, but get your tuition back?

I'm not sure what the latest date to defer is, but I do know you can only defer once. If you choose to push back your start date for a second time, they require that you re-apply for admission.

What route are people from California flying?
Are you flying directly to St. Marteen or from Florida to St. Marteen.

VERY EASY interview, don't worry about anything.
It's more of a chat to make sure that you know what you're getting yourself into ( away from home, foreign med ) and if you have the $$$.
