Does SGU ever take transfers from other Caribbean Schools for clinicals?

i think depends on your grades and recs. they should make exceptions, is what i've heard.

As a rule, SGU does not take transfers. I'm sure there are exceptions, and I'm sure those exceptions are few and far between.

probably depends on the status of your family. you gotta be somebody to get ahead in life

i had a 3.8 undegrad, 3.99 in MUA-nevis [finished basic sciences Rank 1/Dean of Basic Science Award], However I had no bachelors until I finished MUA[ so I recieved a bachelors now] and never took the MCAT. I have passed all shelf exams & took the comprehensive shelf exam during my last semester, this April [ before I began studying] and recieved a 218. I am currently studying for step 1 and plan on taking it sometime in late-may[ 6 weeks]. Should I attempt to transfer or is it pointless since they rarely take transfers.

if you are a north american student, the MCAT is required.

transfer is rare and probably not from a school that doesn't have 50 states (hence why they rarely do it- licensing issues come up with non-50 state schools)...

you could look to AUC or Ross, but even then they will tell you that unless you start over, you won't get all 50 states, even with the Ross or AUC degree, because of the your time at MUA.

I am not trying to transfer because I want all 50 states, I just want better rotations in NY, which is where I am from. & MCAT would be required even if you finished basic sciences and took the USMLE? I was asking for transfer into clinicals.

nonetheless, the school cares about the 50 state licensing issue so you could run into problems with transfer.

I remember when st chris was having their blow up, the dean o fadmission posted info about "transferring" and that sgu may give consideration financially (ie tuition breaks), but that the students would have to start over again because of said issues..

as for the MCATs, they may waive that (you would have to ask the school), but that is probably not your big hurdle...its the 50 state thing...but US schools still ask for MCATs for transfer into clinicals, so for a school that requires them, it wouldn't surprise me if they still want them.
