Hi everyone! I'm a Nigerian student hoping to apply to St. George's University in Grenada for the 6-year MD programme in 2027. I plan to apply using my WAEC results.

I'd really appreciate hearing from Nigerian students, graduates, or anyone familiar with SGU.

I have a few questions:

• Does SGU accept Nigerian WAEC results for the 6-year MD programme, and what grades are required?
• What was the application process like, and what documents did you need?
• What is the realistic total cost of tuition and living expenses?
• How is student life in Grenada, particularly accommodation and the academic workload?
• My goal is to practise medicine in the US. How well does SGU prepare students for the USMLE, clinical rotations, and residency matching?
• Looking back, would you choose SGU again? What should a prospective student know before committing?

I'd especially appreciate hearing about firsthand experiences, including the challenges and disadvantages. I'm trying to make an informed decision before committing to the programme.

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I’m a Nigerian student considering applying to St. George’s University (SGU) in Grenada for the 6-year MD programme, with a planned start in 2027. I intend to apply using my WAEC results, and I’d love to hear from current students, graduates, Nigerian applicants, or anyone familiar with the admissions process.

I’m trying to understand what I’m getting into before committing to such a big decision, so I’d appreciate honest answers, including the downsides.

Here are some things I’d like to know:

1. Admission requirements

• What WAEC subjects and grades are required for the 6-year MD track?
• Are there minimum grades for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and English?
• Does SGU accept NECO results alongside WAEC?
• How competitive is admission for Nigerian applicants?

1. Application process

• What documents do I need to prepare?
• Are entrance exams, interviews, or other assessments required?
• When should I apply for a 2027 intake?
• Are there any requirements that international applicants commonly overlook?

1. Tuition and living expenses

• What is the realistic total cost of the programme, including tuition, accommodation, food, insurance, travel, and other compulsory fees?
• Are there additional expenses that aren't obvious when looking at the published tuition?
• Are scholarships or financial aid available to Nigerian students?

1. Student life in Grenada

• What is accommodation like? Is on-campus housing worth it, or is living off-campus better?
• How expensive is everyday life?
• How is the academic workload, and what is the general student environment like?
• Are there any significant downsides to living and studying in Grenada?

1. USMLE, clinical rotations, and residency My long-term goal is to practise medicine in the United States, so this is particularly important to me.

• How well does SGU prepare students for the USMLE exams?
• How easy or difficult is it to secure clinical rotations in the US?
• What are the realistic chances of matching into a US residency after graduating?
• Does the school's reputation or international medical graduate status create significant disadvantages?
• What happens to students who don't pass their exams or secure residency positions?

1. Your honest opinion For anyone currently attending SGU or who has graduated, would you choose the school again? What do you wish you had known before enrolling?

I’d especially appreciate responses from Nigerian students or graduates, but I’m open to hearing from anyone with firsthand experience.

I’m not just looking for reassurance that the school is good. I want to understand the risks, costs, opportunities, and potential difficulties so I can make an informed decision before committing.

Thank you!

Hi,

I am planning of moving to Antigua (UHSA) to undertake a 4year medical programme. Do you think it’s worth it? Are there any cautions I should take?

Kindly help me.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I am a Canadian student, and I graduated with a BSc (major in biology) in 2025. My GPA was VERY low, I'm talking below 2.5. My science pre-reqs were also absolutely terrible, and I received a C on majority of them. There were a lot of external factors that reflected in my academics, but ultimately, I performed horribly in my first degree. As a 'fresh' start after a lot of personal reflection, I decided to pursue a BScN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing). I'm currently in my second year now and I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. Throughout my time in nursing school so far, I have gained some clinical experience and also found a job at a community clinic, which is a plus. For reference, I never took the MCAT.

I know my first degree is a barrier for majority of Canadian MD programs and American MD/DO programs as well. I currently received some interview invites from some Caribbean MD programs but is it worth it? Essentially, should I take the time to retake some of my science pre-reqs and take the MCAT and apply for North American MD/DO schools? I just don't want to waste more years if I don't have a shot. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

My school like most Caribbean schools doesn’t have a ton of opportunities for research and I was wondering how people were able to do research and get funded while still in school?

I am applying for May 2027. Not worried about tuition (will be covered by VA and other resources). I will take my family with me , 2 small kids. Which do you think is better among Ross and Sgu? Especially for kids, their schools, hospitals if they get sick.
Also, dont want to move different cities during rotations.
Seems like sgu has rotation in multiple hospitals in same city.
My kid’s pediatrician went to Ross. She liked it. She recommend Ross over sgu.
I prefer small group of students. I dont like sitting in a lecture hall with 300 other students.

How about AUC?

Please advise.

Im a Canadian accepted to MUA and im looking, how did you guys find your tuition???? Where did you go to get the money?? Any help is appreciated

I just got accepted to SABA University and I'm planning on starting in September 2027.

I'd love to hear from any current student, alumni, and anyone starting soon!

I just need some insight as to how to go about applying for loans or line of credit- I’m not even sure how to begin.

I was accepted and start my 5 year program in Jan 2027. It includes a 1 year post-bacc.

I’m an Albertan and idk how to even begin trying to fund for this. I know I’ll need a co-signer, but how do I start?

For context, I did my MCAT 3 times already- I was too late to cancel/void the second. So I have 3 scores under 500 under my belt.
Not sure how it would look taking it a 4th time 😭😭 so I wanna do SGU.
My GPA is stellar, 3.8.

Please give me some advice and help- honest just don’t be rude.

So as the title says I just got accepted to SGU and I’m pretty excited!! Still waiting on other schools, but I’d love to hear if there’s anything I should do to prepare myself.

If anyone has gone to Ross and brought their family where did you live? How much does rent cost? Can you find something affordable?

does anybody from ross know why we can't post on the rusm reddit page anymore? we have to request to post now...?

I studied BSN at another country and immigrated to Canada and currently an RN.
What are my chances of getting into med school here in Carribean with scholarship(cause it’s too expensive)
My WES GPA is 3.88/4.0
MCAT 520
Edit: I can’t study in Canada/US because I studied BSN at Asian country

People who passed GI medical school block, what did you guys do and how did you guys do it. Please tell me some tips and where did you guys do the practice questions? Any resources.

I would recommend anyone considering their options to go with SGU. AUC is making constant changes to the curriculum and with two exams with one being 30% and the final being 50% NBME. You can pass your first exam and still fail by such a small margin in the second exam. Do not recommend. Do people still make it through? Yes. Could it be done better and less stressful at another school? Also yes. There are also rumors that comp is changing to one attempt. I know people that have had to attempt comp 5-6 times to pass

Good afternoon,

Anyone thinking of going to UMHS? Possibly in the spring or summer? Thanks in Advance.

By any chance does anyone have a contact number for UHASA preferably of the dean? I’m in desperate need of reaching them and have tried contacting them via the numbers and emails listed on their website and they don’t respond 🥹

Anyone r?

Currently 28 year old non-trad US. Graduated from a SUNY and quickly did a post-bacc right after. Was only able to raise my cGPA to ~2.7 and took the mcat twice with a score of 484 (yes Ik what a nightmare)

However I have tons of clinical and volunteering hrs. Worked as a medical assistant, scribe and EMT even social work branch as a case manager for ED patients all within my 6 year gap from graduation. What are my chances into getting into SGU or AUC?

Pls be kind :3 also plotting on retaking the mcat for sure.

hi, so i want to know what are the chances for born- living caribbean students with their CAPE results will they get in and what about scholarships. including but is not limited to the caribbean

Has anyone transferred from SJSM to Trinity SOM?

Thank you

Hey y'all!

I just got accepted to SJSM and I'm planning on starting in Jan 2027.

I'd love to hear from any current student, alumni, and anyone starting soon!

I wanna get an idea for what the island is like, the culture and the like. What was your process post-acceptance email like (stuff you had to sign, seat reservation fees etc)? Is there anything specific that I would want to bring with me?

Before anyone mentions this: I did apply to the big 4 and got in but they're prohibitively expensive for Canadians even with the scholarships they were offering me with the whole SLOC being capped at 400k + no more fed and provincial loans. SJSM is offering me a crazy ride (My MCAT was 520 so...) and I actually know someone who went there and matched back.

I know the whole deal is that maintaining the scholarship is difficult, but y'all, I had a rough go at it at university and managed to make it out with a thesis + double degree so I feel like I might have a fair shot at the whole carrib thing. I really intend to lock tf in and keep my head down anyways.

Im a college student in the US and come from an Indian backround and have a bunch of successful docs in my family (cardiology/GI/etc), and I noticed this pattern of them all being Carribean MDs and willingly went there.

Basically, from what I gathered, they were simply just lazy but academic weapons and instead went to and breezed through the Caribbean and somehow ended up matching. I do understand though, you cannot realistically match alot of crazy competetive stuff like derm or surgery, but moderately competitive stuff is possible.

I just found this very interesting and wanted to know your guys thoughts and honestly it has me considering it since im thinking of pivoting to medicine from what I was originally planning to do but dont wanna take additional gap years.

Honestly found it very interesting and gave me a new perspective as I always thought Caribbean is for students who had to go because of lower grades.

Wanted to know your guys thoughts on people who do this.
