Highly trained admission staff:
Our Schools admissions staff are trained to recognize the unique potential in applicants.
Admissions is one of the most important and seldom discussed aspects for all of the Caribbean medical schools.

Based on more than 40 years of experience in medical education, we now know that GPA and MCAT data are not pure predictors of success in medical school - our schools 96% student retention rate remains as a testament to this fact.
As such, we take a very holistic approach to admissions, looking at a broad range of many different indicators of a student's chance to handle the rigors of medical school.
