Yep, holding my breath that is. The files to SGU, Ross, and AUC are finally complete. I was informed that the schools have received my recommendation letters and processed my files for the next stage, the interview. All I can do now wait hope and wait for an interview, then start preparing for it if I am granted one.
The high demand of physicians and an increase in medicine propelled by TV shows such as ER, House, and Scrubs have led to a intensely competitive field of applicants even to Caribbean medical schools. One person with a 3.3 GPA and a 31 MCAT was rejected by SGU. Now these scores are good enough for admission to some medical schools in the US let alone the Caribbean schools, or at least that was what we thought. This gives an idea of the kind of competition for spots closer to the matriculation date. Yes this news is not comforting at all. I’ll keep hope that I’ll hear something in the next week. For that is all I can do, hold.
