I wanted to know if there are any medical students who are currently enrolled in a Cuban medical program? I am currently researching the IFCO program. Is there anyone currently in Cuba participating in this program? Are their any medical students who have completed the program in Cuba. Thanks...

It does say a lot about me, before judging me, maybe you should have asked about the program and why I want to practice in Europe. The program is actually a 6-7 year program and the only requirement after completing the program is that I work in underserved communities. Those are only some of...

Ideally, I would prefer to practice in the EU not that I would not want to practice in the US my preference is to go abroad. in addition, I am not sure about my chances of gettting into medical school in the US so at least with Cuba, I still have the possibility to go to medical school and come...

I used to work at the international office and you really do not want to come in on a B1/B2 visa, it is considered a tourist visa and you will not be able to go to school on that visa, unless you are here for a short time like less than 3 months. I would recommend that you look at either a J1 or...

I am an American Citizen exploring the possibility of attending Medical school in Cuba. Does anyone know where you must stay in Cuba for a certain amount of time, after the completion of the program. Is anyone currently in that program and if so what are your thoughts, and for any Cubans what...

Does anyone know how the application process works, when applying to medical school in Cuba and what is the link to acess the application? Any information. I am very interested in this program and I am a minority from an underepresented area so what are my chances. Does anyone have any comments...

I found this threaf to be extremly helpful, however does all of the money need to be in excroe at the bank. I know in many of the Americal schools you must have all four years of funding in escroe before you will be accepted to a medical school. or they will offer you a conditional acceptance...

Thank you Airica, I think that there are additional factors that play a role in your acceptance, because even people with a low GPA, a GPA of 2.7 have a 21% chance of acceptance with a mid 30 MCAT score, so my question is: what is it that they have that allows them to be so unique that they are...

So I did a postbac in an effort to boost my grades but unfortunately that really did not happen, not only did I work full time at Hopkins as a Research Coordinator, I also work at Psychiatric Unit (Peds and Adult). But currenlty my GPA is under a 3.0 (Approximately 2.7 right now). What would be...

What is you are from an underrepresented minority group, what if any does that role play?

I know this is not the necessarily the correct thread, but what are the chances for DO school or schools in the Caribbean? Thoughts?

I am in the a very similar situation. I am working a Hopkins and my GPA is about a 2.7 and I have about 7 credits left to take. So I am very nervous, due to various promotions at work and having to get a second job at the hospital, my GPA suffered. I do however have publications out of Hopkins...

Will Medical schools really not consider me for .3 off my GPA. I have already taken some Post bac classes. However, it is difficult because I work full time and I only have about 3 more credits that I need to take in order to complete the pre-reqs

Regarding DO schools, you need to get at least one letter of recommendation from a DO, but I do not know any DO's what should I do? :mad:

I am feeling very confused about how the application process works. Maybe someone on here can lend their guidence. I am a non traditional student and I am currently empoyed at Johns Hopkins as a Research coordinator, I have about 2 publications out of Hopkins and aided in 2 papers out of NIMH, I...
