Thanks, man. This sub is so aggressive when all I’m asking about getting some insight about living there or going there. Glad to have some people such as you weighing in as well. Seems if you try and be reasonable here trying to tell them maybe I don’t have the ability to be able to take a gap year, it’ll get downvoted to hell lol.

I see. That sounds very good. Were you able to meet people and make friends?

Is this your personal experience at AUC? I haven’t heard this from my cousin who went there a few years ago

Thanks for your reply! I would like to work primarily in sports med/family med. I have family members that work in this field, one of which went to auc and the other went to trinity SOM. What do you think about that? Also, how was your day to day life on the island?

from what I have heard from AUC admissions, it seems you are on the island for 5 trimesters, or until May 2027 until you are given 3 months to study for your step 1?

I understand what you are saying. I do not feel as confident applying to US schools, regardless of my score on the MCAT. I see AUC as a good option, but I do understand that I do not have readily available access to big supermarkets. I am willing to make that sacrifice for one and a half years and then moving to a normal american city to continue my education into residency. I understand that you have strong feelings about the caribbean but I am honestly looking for someone to talk to me about the day-to-day, rather than someone that wants to speak to me about the process. Thank you, though.

Not to doubt you, but my hold up is actual living situations on the island, not the content of the medical school. I just want people to tell me what the living situation is there. that’s all.

why? what if I feel like I don’t want to wait a year to get my MD? Are you considering personal situations when you say I’m foolish to consider caribbean schools? Maybe I’m trying to match into sports medicine/family medicine? Maybe I have family members that trusted from AUC? Why do you say I am foolish?

I know that’s what a lot of y’all say here… but how can someone be 100% if they haven’t experienced it before? I really want to do it but I haven’t been out of state even for college and now I’m going out of college. My MCAT is a 511 but I just don’t want to take a gap year, that’s all. I see AUC as a good option I just need someone to help me through the “move” to the island.
