Hey all,
I'm a friend of someone who is applying for medical school. Her mentor (who has both a PhD and an MD) has really pushed for her to apply for a Carribbean school. My friend has really struggled these last few years and I believe had a 3.3 undergrad, 3.5 pre-med classes. Her MCATs weren't that hot. But her mentor claims Carribbean schools are perfect for people like her. When I expressed concern that she may not match for residency, she told me that her mentor said that was just hearsay and that UMHS has a 96% match rate.
Is this true? My friend is incredibly trusting and I just wanted to double check on this. Sometimes even the smartest of mentors are misinformed.
