Thread: St. Matts vs. MUA

I have been accepted to both St. Matts and MUA (via Saba) for Jan. 06. I wanted to get some pros and cons from students who are attending St. Matts or MUA. Also i know some students have transfered from one school to the other, and would like to get their views since they have been able to experience both islands and schools. Any info would be helpful in helping me make this tough decision of where i wish to pursue my medical education.

There are many posts dealing with the pros & cons ... almost all roads lead to SMU !!

Good luck.

Smu hands down

SABA has cali. If you want Cali go there. Saba has been around longer. Island isnt really that great, but really thats prob the only thing.

If u do go to Saba, dont transfer out to the MUA "network" ie Belize or Nevis. Theyre not Cali accredited and it just causes lots of problems down the line.

Friend of mine who went to MUA Belize rocked Step 1, wanted to transfer to SMU for clinicals, but SMU wouldnt accept all the Belize transcripts, but would accept them if they came from SABA or MUA Nevis.

Again, no brainer. If you want to become the greatest doctor on the planet, go to SMU!!!

smu because it already has ny and is going for cali....mua does not....saba has both

I cant believe we are even having this discussion!!

- SMU in a heartbeat -
