there is no way any body with a mcat of 37 is at this school or any school other than sgu, as far as the caribbean

and you know this because the director of admission's from every major caribbean medical school sends you student transcripts and personal records for review and personal amusement.

no papers needed, you can use temporal and dimensional logic.... it would be another dimension and hell would freeze over for someone with a 37mcat to attend

SGU, AUC, Ross and Saba exists because some people are unable to get into a US medical school.
SMU and a few other schools exists because some people are unable to get into SGU, AUC, Ross or Saba.
Other Carib schools exists because some people are even unable to get into the Carib Tier 2 schools.

I know one student at Saba with MCAT of this range....

Then that person would have deficiences in other parts of his/her resume. But it's entirely possible to get rejected from a US Medical School, despite a high MCAT score. There's actually a reason why medical schools spend vast amounts of student and faculty time to select future students. If it was just the MCAT score that mattered, things would be so much easier.

Still, I think the main and indisputable fact is that NOBODY who wants to work as a physician in the US would voluntarily pick an offshore school over a US medical school, if given a choice. And very few, if any, would choose a new and unproven school with licensing limitations over an established Carib school without such limitations. Fairly obvious, really....

no you don't. you know someone that said they got a 37..it is quite different from someone actually having it. the -1 GPA, -10MCAT, X3 for women and divide by 3 for men rule applies here.

1) -1 GPA: automatically take 1 point away from anyone's GPA. your friend said 3.8 so a 2.8 is closer to the real number
2) -10 MCAT: so someone you know got a 34? well smile and fake some awe because you know a 24 is much closer to reality
3) X3 women: your girlfriend said she has slept with 3 guys in her life: real number is closer to 9 not counting a sex buddy
4) divide by 3: you tell people you've slept with 9 women when you know 3 is the real number

Why can't that be possible? Isn't it possible that the person had really bad people skills, communication skills and many unrelated academic problems made obvious during the interview process and that was why he was washed out of US schools? There could be many many reasons, this person lying about it is just might be one of the possibilties, you don't know it, neither do I. It is open to speculation.

I knew a guy that was a student at a US school and transferred to a school in St, Kitts for personal reasons. Brilliant student. Eventually he made it back to a US program. I won't give names for obvious reasons.

But what I want to point out is, do not rule out any possibilities.

it was a joke.. of course its possible.. there was a guy at auc with a 41 but it was obvious why he didn't go to a US school and i don't think he made it off the rock either?

Funny and true..

This individual at Saba scored 36 on the MCAT but had low GPA. Didn't get into US schools, then ended up in the Carib...

Yes, anything is possible in life
