Hi! I am new to this forum. I am current a College Graduate with a really low gpa of 2.5 and I am planning to take my MCAT in august. I am not going to bother applying to US Medical Schools because I know my chances are weak.

I have worked in an internship with a doctor who was the Director of Occupational Medicine in my school, where I did research to find possible causes of diseases and illnesses the patients suffered due to their job environment. Also, I have been working as a direct care counselor where I have direct patient care experience for over two years and counting.

I have taken practice MCATs but I know the real exam will be a lot harder since it is just hard to gauge from practice exams. However I have about 3 months left and from the 2 practice tests I have taken, both of them I obtained a 29 and 28.
I have at least 4 letters of recommendation right now including 2 from professors, one from my internship, and the other one from my employer.

My aim is to get above a 32 at least. Do I still have a chance to get into the Carribean Medical colleges such as Ross, St Georges, SABA, or AUA in my situation?

Hi Lihia and welcome to AdmissionsBoards!

You should contact those schools directly. Just be sure you fully understand your chances of practicing medicine in the US afterward as well as where and what type of medicine you might be practicing.

Best of luck!
