What are my chances?

$

Hello everybody,

I am really interested in MUA, but I am contemplating on whether I should apply or not. I have a GPA of 3.54 and sGPA of 3.23 I will be receiving my MCAT scores on Oct 14. My problem is that I have 5 W's on my transcript, but they were all from my freshman and sophomore years when I had relationship and life problems during my attendance at a community college . However, during my last 2 years at a University I took Anatomy and physiology (A), Genetics (A-) , Animal physiology (A), cancer biology (B) , Biochemistry (A) and many more.. I improved drastically and I only had A's and 3 B's during my last 2 years. I am wondering if I have a chance ?

Thank you all!

Some Advice Needed

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I applied to MUA for medical school for January 2016. I was offered an interview last week (takes place tomorrow) -- before my MCAT score is available. Does this mean my stats are so bad that they'll just interview me for pre-med and not even bother waiting to see my MCAT score? Or does it mean MUA does not place much emphasis on MCAT scores and just need to have it on record but not for admission purposes to its medical school? Will they at least hint to you which program you'll be heading to during the interview? I called them and they said they'll decide after the interview. This is causing much anxiety for me because getting a loan for pre-med would be difficult. Thanks for any inputs.

My pre-med stats: Biol 1 & 2: 2.5
Chem 1 & 2: 3.5
Physics 1 & 2: 4.0
Org/Biochem: 2.5
A & P 1 and 2: 3.5
Embryology: 3.0

My undergrad GPA is 2.73

Hello,

I've been applying to a couple of school for Pre Med as I only have a college diploma( Canadian 2 year program 87 credit hours) However, it is a nursing diploma and I have quite a bit of clinical experience with direct patient care and assisting physicians. My GPA out of school is still something I'm trying to figure out. In canada we go by percentages so its a 74% not sure what that equals in US GPA scale. If anyone recently accepted or anyone who knows could give me some insight I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you know of some other school pre-med program i should apply to that would be great too.
**** PS I've already decided to take this route so bashing the caribbean school idea isn't something I'm really looking for.

Thanks

READ before attending MUA

I wanted to share my experience with everyone who is thinking of attending MUA, or other caribbean school.
I am currently finishing clinicals and have applied to match, I will hopefully start residency next July.

There is a LOT of bad info about caribbean schools, and a lot of exaggerations and misconceptions. So heres the truth.

I started MUA with a class of 109 people, by Med 5 we had 34 people in my class from our original class. Most failed out, some transferred or just went home to do something else. Of those 34, over 10 (not sure exact number) failed the comprehensive final, meaning they had to return to take it again and pass before taking the USMLE STEP1. Of the 20 or so people who passed Comp, I personally know 8. 2 passed the USMLE STEP1 with below a 210, (BAD). 6 have passed the STEP1 with above a 230 (according to them, they might be lying). I don't know anyone who has passed comp and then failed the STEP1, although I do know people who know people who have failed.
I personally did well on STEP1, and will be fine. Once you pass STEP1, clinicals are easy enough, but residency match is insane. the statistics say about 56% of IMGs will get a residency, and I believe those stats. through this process I have seen just how challenging it is for IMGs, especially ones who don't speak proper english. I have friends who were not able to even apply to dozens of residency spots because they are not a US citizen. I have one friend who has a 240 on STEP1 and he hasn't gotten a single interview (he is indian and needs sponsorship). If you need sponsorship into the US, whether you're canadian or other, it will be HARD for you to match. MANY residency "people" I have spoken to have told me that I will be fine based on my english skills and US citizenship. I know this may not be fair, but its the truth and something to consider before jumping into a caribbean school.
MUA itself is a decent school, and it will give you the opportunity to become a physician, but its a challenge. I know a lot of people who were paramedics and RNs who ended up failing out Med3 and Med4. Its a lot of work and its hard.
So, my advice to you, think long and hard before attending medical school. Its a LOT of work, and a LOT of stress, and its not guaranteed you will be a physician. I received a biology degree before attending, and honestly MUA was harder than university. MUA is a decent school and the professors are nice, but you will have to do a LOT of work on your own.
Read the book First Aid, and gather "docs" and "review" material from students in higher Meds than you.

AGAIN, This is a decision that may not be the right one for you. If you can see yourself doing ANY other career, then don't go to medical school. You have to REALLY want it. My professor the first day of class said to me "half of the people in your class with you will not graduate" and he was right. I honestly didn't believe him, but now I do. I feel really bad for the friends I made who ended up wasting a lot of time and money.
